- Chip Shortage to Have Significant Impact Upon Industry
Just as the tight U.S. market new vehicle inventory levels, caused by Pandemic-related shutdowns in 2020, began to improve a new monkey wrench has been tossed into the automotive manufacturing machine. This time a global semiconductor shortage is forcing automakers across the globe to idle plants. Publicly, chip manufacturers claim that resolving the shortage of parts for the auto industry is a top priority. However, in most instances the chips used for automotive applications are much cheaper than those used for other products like smart phones or data centers. With limited global chip manufacturing capacity, resources will likely flow to the most profitable products leaving auto manufacturers in a bind. The production of tens of thousands of vehicles may be impacted by this situation, which at this point seems likely to extend well into Q3 2021, if not longer. As we likely see new vehicle inventory levels slowly begin to drift lower again, expect prices to stay elevated and incentive spending to remain low for the remainder of 2021.

Last year the auto market roared into February on the strength of a surging economy and sales reflected a buoyant mood.

- Here’s the first of Hyundai’s new 800-volt EVs—the Ioniq 5
On Tuesday morning in Korea, Hyundai premiered its newest battery electric vehicle. The company has resisted the temptation to start off with a bombastic SUV like General Motors' reborn GMC Hummer or a handsome sedan like the Porsche Taycan, although those are both in the pipeline. Instead, the Ioniq brand will launch with that most in-demand of automobiles, the midsize crossover. In this case, a keenly styled crossover called the Ioniq 5, which will also be the first BEV to use Hyundai's new E-GMP architecture... Ars Technica on 02/23/2021
