FORECAST Minnesota New Vehicle Market Posts Big Gain So Far in 2012 Delayed title processing by the state in the summer of 2011 contributed to the big percentage gain The Minnesota new retail light vehicle market has had a very good year so far in 2012, with registrations increasing a reported 43.5% versus a year earlier. Part of the substantial increase is due to the slowdown in title processing by the state that occurred in the summer of 2011. This gave a boost to the year-over-year percentage gain this year. There is very little chance that the market will sustain this rate of growth in the Fourth Quarter. But even after accounting for this impact, the market is clearly recovering from the 2009 sales trough (see graph below). What s lies ahead for 2013? Another increase is likely, but at this point, it looks like the rate of increase is likely to ease. Auto Outlook is currently projecting an 8% improvement for 2013, below the 21% increase expected for this year. Why do we think the pace of the recovery will ease next year? Here are the three primary reasons. First, economic growth is expected to remain sluggish, as likely fiscal tightening by the Federal government will limit growth, and the European financial crisis is likely to put a damper on the global economy. Second, the unemployment rate is expected to remain relatively high, with slim gains in employment. And third, although households have made headway in reducing debt, there is still a lot of work to do in curing ailing balance sheets, which are still on the mend following the financial crisis. At this point, it seems highly unlikely that these events will derail the new vehicle market recovery. Indeed, our basic outlook has remained intact since the recession hit in 2008 and 2009: the market will remain on its long term improvement path, with sales having a good chance to hit record levels before the end of the decade.

BRAND SCOREBOARD - PART THREE Chevrolet and Ford Are Relatively Strong Performers in State GMC, Chrysler, and Subaru also rank high The graph below provides an indicator of brands that are popular in Minnesota (relative to the National standard), and those that are not. Here s how it works: For the top 30 selling brands in the state, each brand s share of the U.S. market is multiplied by retail registrations in the state during the first seven months of 2012. This yields a target for the state market. Target registrations are subtracted from actual registrations to derive the measurement of sales performance. Brands at the top of the graph (i.e., Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Chrysler, and Subaru) are relatively strong sellers in the state, with actual registrations exceeding the calculated target by a large margin. For instance, Chevrolet registrations exceeded the target by 6,902 units. Source for registration data: AutoCount data from Experian Automotive.

RECENT RESULTS IN MINNESOTA USED VEHICLE MARKET Minnesota Used Vehicle Market Falls 13.6% So Far This Year Tight supplies continue to put a damper on sales Below is a list of key trends in the state used vehicle market: Retail used registrations declined 13.6% during the first seven months of this year versus 2011, much weaker than the 43.5% increase for new vehicles. As shown on the graph below, the Minnesota new vehicle market has posted larger percentage gains during the past couple of years. There are two primary reasons for this: First, the new vehicle market fell precipitously in 2008 and 2009, and consequently the bounceback has been sharper. And second, tighter supplies of late model vehicles have restricted used vehicle sales.

USED VEHICLE SALES BY AGE 3 Year Old Vehicle Sales Decline Sharply Two year old market share moves higher As highlighted on the graph below, the sweet spot in the Minnesota used vehicle market is shifting, due to changes in wholesale availability of pre-owned vehicles. Depressed new vehicle sales in 2009 have made three year old used vehicles a scarce commodity, with market share declining 8.7 points. Two year old market share increased 7.6 points during the first seven months of this year versus a year earlier.
