Toyota Leads 3rd Quarter 2022 National Auto Sales

Written By: Jerry Reynolds | Oct 5, 2022 2:43:49 PM

When the smoke cleared last Monday on the 3rd quarter of 2022 sales, it was a mixed bag compared to last year.  Some automakers were up, like Cadillac, which was up 50% from Q3 of 2021.  There were plenty of losers, however, like Maserati which was down 59%.

The Detroit 3 was also mixed, with Ford Motor Company up 16% due to more vehicles, especially pickups, being produced.  General Motors ended the quarter up 25%, in spite of a sharp drop at Buick.  Stellantis was down this quarter by 6%, with Alfa Romeo, Fiat, and Maserati dragging them down.

The pain of no microchips continues at Honda Motors.  Quarter #3 of this year resulted in a drop of 36% versus the 3rd quarter of 2021.  The Honda brand was off 35% while Acura dropped 43%.
