MI INSIGHTS
- December 2020 Incentive Spending: Seasonally Higher, but Lower Y-O-Y Trend Continues
Automakers' spending on light vehicle incentives for the U.S. market was seasonally higher in December 2020 as year-end enhancements drove promotions to $3,927/unit, up 4.0% from November 2020, but down 8.8% from December 2019. The combination of tight inventory levels and solid consumer demand continued drive spending on consumer incentives by manufacturers lower year-over-year despite record new vehicle transaction prices. The trend of lower incentives will likely continue into early 2021. As the year progresses and the new vehicle inventory situation improves, look for incentive spending to increase.

- Auto Sales Gain Traction as Americans Avoid Mass Transit
Taxi business in New York City has dropped by 90% since the start of the pandemic, even as mass transit ridership has fallen precipitously. The situation, repeated across the country, reflects a variety of factors, including a huge increase among those working from home and a sharp decline in business travel. But even among those who must commute, there’s been a sizable shift away from mass transit and ride-hailing services to the use of personal vehicles. And that is leading not only to a surge in car sales, both new and used, but also in the type of vehicles American motorists are purchasing. The Detroit Bureau on 01/14/2021
