Auto News For Thursday February 26 2015 Trucks Dominating American Sales Podium

Audi R8
(Let us introduce you to the ninth edition of GCBCs new daily auto news recaps including stories from around the web that are either important, informative, interesting, intriguing, or all of the above. Brought to you by GCBCs operations manager, Steffani Cain, articles just like this will appear weekdays on GCBC. Ed.)  

Here are five must-read, must-watch auto news stories, reviews, and videos for Thursday, February 26, 2015.

FUTURE
This is the new, second-generation, Lamborghini Huracan-related Audi R8. Through the end of January 2015, 6182 of the first-generation R8s have been sold in America. Personally, Im not a fan of the look.  Seems like a bad mixture of old design and spacecraft design. But thats just me.

REVIEW
If you haven’t been following along with Edmunds’ long-term test of the 2015 Ford F-150, you ought to. "You want a decent amount of suspension articulation if youre going to venture off the pavement very far, especially if you see yourself getting into the kind of frame-twist situations where one tire could hike up off the ground."

TTAC
Everyone knows that pickup trucks are capable vehicles. But do they know just how capable? Todays pickup trucks arent just capable of toting your stuff and towing your toys while offering space for your family. Theyre capable of grabbing the three best selling positions in America for five consecutive months. Our founder and sales analyst has the details for you on TTAC. "The pickup truck world’s consistent hold on the whole of American best seller’s podium is steadily tightening."

RECALL
Status unchanged since yesterdays Sprinter and FJ Cruiser recalls.

WATCH
Are Cadillac’s disappointing sales figures still the price the brand must pay for inauthentic ads like this one, funny as it was?

Small/midsize pickups, a sub-segment which once again includes two GM nameplates, were up just 1% as sales of two continuing nameplates - Nissan Frontier and Honda Ridgeline - nosedived and the segment-leading Toyota Tacoma was level. 

The Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon combined for 16.1% market share in the category; 0.9% of all pickup truck sales.

As always, the Ford F-Series was Canadas best-selling pickup truck, outselling the second-ranked Ram P/U range by 2419 units and the surging GM full-size twins by 1835 units. The twins, GMCs Sierra and the Chevrolet Silverado, combined to outsell the Ram by 3556 units through the first eleven months of 2014.

This table is now sortable, so you can rank pickup trucks any which way you like. November best seller lists for cars and SUVs will be published soon.

Top 13 Best Selling Pickup Trucks In America 2014 Year End

2015 Ford F-150
Sales of pickup trucks in the home of the pickup truck, the United States, rose 6.6% to 2.32 million in calendar year 2014, an increase of 144,586 units.

As Ford replaced its core F-150 pickup at the end of the year, rival automakers took advantage of the opportunity to earn market share.

Even combined, the Silverado and Sierra - top sellers in the latter portion of 2014 - couldnt unseat the F-Series on total calendar year terms. The F-Series grabbed 32.5% of the truck market; 36.5% of the full-size category.

Historical monthly and yearly sales figures for any of these best-selling trucks can always be accessed through the dropdown menu at GCBCs Sales Stats page, and for those not viewing the mobile version of this site, near the top right of this page, as well.
