The European Union has proposed changes to a 2023 law that effectively banned the sale of new internal combustion engine cars from 2035. Instead of cutting CO2 emissions by 100 percent from 2021 levels, carmakers would be required to reduce them by 90 percent, meaning small-scale production of petrol or hybrid cars could continue. The auto industry and some member states had been lobbying hard to get the rules relaxed in the face of slow market growth for EVs.

Bankrupt subprime retailer Tricolor's 10,000 remaining vehicles may be sold by March 2026 if trustee Anne Burns' motion is approved.Tricolor backup servicer Vervent and vehicle management company Holman will sell all remaining vehicles, if the motion is approved by Judge Michelle Larson. This includes vehicles that may belong to Tricolor's creditors, through third-party auctioneers, according to court documents.The proposal came ahead of former Tricolor Chief Executive Daniel Chu's motion seeking to shore up $15 million in legal defense funds, according to U.S. Bankruptcy Court of the Northern District of Texas Dallas Division court documents. The funds are from insurance payments made by Tricolor before it went bankrupt, according to the documents.Across the subprime auto industry, credit health is declining. Early-stage delinquencies across nonprime securitized auto loans rose 88 basis points year over year and the rate of nonprime securitized loans more than 60 days past due rose 65 basis points YoY in October, according to Kroll Bond Rating Agency's auto loan asset-backed securitization index.Meanwhile, new-vehicle sales were down in five of the 12 regions covered by Federal Reserve banks, according to the most recent edition of the Fed's Beige Book. New-vehicle sales were weighed down by declining consumer demand and EV sales.Automakers offered low APR options and cash-back incentives for Black Friday to stay competitive on rates while balancing affordability concerns. Dealers also expect a short-term dip in wholesale used-vehicle inventory through December as fleet management companies hold onto cars longer.In this episode of “Weekly Wrap,” Auto Finance News Editor Amanda Harris, Senior Associate Editor Truth Headlam and Associate Editor Aidan Bush discuss trends across the subprime auto market, vehicle incentives and Tricolor's Chapter 7 bankruptcy for the week ended Nov. 28.

Auto retailers and fintechs mostly reported growth in the third quarter amid mixed October retail sales, flat vehicle values and some layoffs. CarMax named David McCreight as its interim president and CEO, replacing Bill Nash, effective Dec. 1. Nash is not retiring, and the shakeup comes as the Richmond, Va.-based retailer's comparable store used-vehicle retail sales are expected to drop between 8% and 12% year over year in the third quarter of its fiscal 2026, according to CarMax's Nov. 6 release. Meanwhile, EV makers Lucid Motors and Rivian saw deliveries jump 46.6% YoY and 31.8% YoY, respectively, in the third quarter ended Sept. 30. AI-powered lending platform Upstart also saw growth in Q3, with auto loan originations up 357.1% YoY on issuance of 6,705 loans, according to a Nov. 4 Upstart presentation.  However, fintech Open Lending saw certified loan volume drop 13% YoY to 23,880, according to its Nov. 6 release. The fall came as Open Lending prepares to roll out a new credit decisioning platform. Vroom subsidiary United Auto Credit Corp. also originated $107 million in the third quarter ended Sept. 30, up 7% year over year but down 6.1% quarter over quarter. The mostly positive Q3 reports came as auto lenders tightened their credit standards. The average new-vehicle auto loan rate increased 19 basis points month over month in October to 9.6%, according to Cox Automotive. This rise is despite a 25-basis-point cut by the Federal Reserve on Oct. 29. Meanwhile, lender Prestige Financial Services reportedly laid off employees in early November, according to posts from former employees. The reported layoffs come as the subprime market faces challenges in affordability and credit performance. With these headwinds and elimination of the federal EV tax credit, automakers reported mixed sales in October. Toyota Motor North America saw sales surge 11.8% YoY to 207,910 vehicles, while Mazda's sales plummeted 32.6% YoY to 25,161 vehicles, according to the companies. In this episode of “Weekly Wrap,” Auto Finance News Editor Amanda Harris discusses trends across third-quarter earnings, vehicle values and sales for the week ended Nov. 7.
