2. The automotive industry has seen some very interesting trends
emerging going into 2015. Some of these have been developing for a
few years, whereas others have largely come out of the blue. Today,
we’ll take a look two of these key trends, and how they will impact the
future of the auto industry.
3. The Resurgence of Muscle Cars
This is a trend that has been in development for a few years now, but has
become very apparent in the 2015 models offered by many companies. For
many years, high performance muscle cars seemed to be in decline, and the
economic crisis of the past few years has done them no favors. However, the
2015 lineups clearly state that muscle cars are making a comeback. With the
re-introduction of Pontiac’s classic Firebird and Trans Am models, the
complete redesign of the Ford Mustang, and Dodge’s new Challenger trim,
the Hellcat, it is obvious that more than one auto company believes that
there is a strong market for higher performance vehicles. Given the
excitement in the world of automotive enthusiasts about these new models,
it certainly seems that these vehicles will do well.
4. Luxury Cars Continue to Make Headway
Another strong trend of these past couple of years has been luxury
vehicles becoming the norm. Chryler’s redesigned 200 and 300 models
have garnered much interest among those who enjoy luxury vehicles.
Even though it will not be on the market until 2016, Buick’s Cascada
convertible model has also made some waves in these circles. The
incorporation of luxury features into new vehicles is nothing new, but
some of the 2015 models take this trend to new lengths, including such
features as fully touchscreen operated control panels, push to start
systems, premium interiors, and even Wifi hotspot capability.
5. What Do These Trends Mean?
Clearly, these two strongly emerging trends have one factor in
common: they are both the product of economic growth. With
unemployment on the decline and the improvement of the economy
overall, people are prepared to spend more money of newer vehicles
than they have been in quite some time. This creates the demand for
these higher end vehicles. Going forward, increases in luxury features
and performance seem to be the wave of the future for the auto
industry, which is poised to make large profits off of this increased
demand. These demand trends seem likely to continue, while demand
for lower end vehicles is likely to decrease in the coming years.
