North American Sales Forecast & WardsAuto Barometer Outlook for Q4 2015 and 2016

Forecast North America Light-Vehicle Sales Long-Term Outlook through 2020 Paste from NA sales segment forecast

WardsAuto 15-Month North American Outlook – Q4 2015/CY 2016 Industry Forecasts Sales-N.America (Yr/Yr % Change) One less production day from 2015 Production-N.America (Yr/Yr % Change) One more production day from 2015

North American Industry: Light-Vehicle Sales Fourteen-year high volume in U.S., record sales in Canada and Mexico, push North America light-vehicle sales to 20.3 million in 2015, the first time above 20 million Volume rises to 20.5 million in 2016, with nearly all gains from domestically sourced vehicles thanks to increased capacity (replacing imports) and U.S. demand for big trucks Paste from slide 6 na sales x country

Forecast North American Light-Vehicle Sales by Major Segments (Domestically Built vs. Import) CUVs forecast for the biggest volume growth in 2016 and top 6 million units. Ironically, CUV gains strongest in imports due to heavy overseas sourcing of small and luxury versions. Pickups also up, but most other segments remain relatively flat. Millions Paste from slide 5

Forecast U.S. Light-Vehicle Sales - Domestically Built vs. Import Sales forecast at 17.1 million units in 2015, rising to 17.3 million in 2016, with domestically produced volume more than offsetting a slight decline in imports. Why a record 7th consecutive Y/Y increase in 2016: Economy, including some key fundamentals, continues to grow Pent-up demand for new vehicles caused by the recession still exists Vehicle replacement (aging vehicles) Fuel prices remain relatively low Off-lease volume Interest rates expected to stay low enough to be a plus Paste from slide 6

Forecast U.S. Light-Vehicle Sales by Major Segment (Domestically Built vs. Import) CUV volume up in 2016, with an influx of imports to meet demand for small and premium-priced versions – could be underestimating Small and Middle Cars continue to be crimped by CUVs – jobs and wage growth, low fuel costs a negative for cars Pickups, small and large, rise in 2016 – construction and housing expected to continue steady (if not robust) gains – potential for incentive activity could push volumes higher SUVs take small volume hit in 2016. New products that lifted 2015 start to lose luster, and much of the remainder of segment getting older – however, there is room for more competitive pricing Luxury Cars getting pinched by luxury trucks – influx of new product keeps volumes flat with 2015 Paste from slide 7

Forecast Canada Light-Vehicle Sales - Domestically Built vs. Import Forecasting slight downturn in 2016 but still close to record highs. Canada likely met the technical definition of a recession in first-half 2015, but was not reflected in automotive sales. Will reach all-time record volume (1.88 million) for third consecutive year in 2015. There are economic issues that could impact the rest of 2015 and 2016 such as low oil prices, higher consumer debt and the possibility the Bank of Canada raises interest rates next year. However, the Canadian automotive market has a history of resilience and stability, with less volatility than the U.S. even during the recession. Also, solid U.S. economic growth is good for Canada’s export-dependent economy. Thus, more likelihood the 2016 forecast is low rather than high. Paste from slide 6

Forecast Mexico Light-Vehicle Sales - Domestically Built vs. Import Forecasting record 1.31 million units in 2015, followed by an increase to 1.37 million next year; the 7th consecutive Y/Y gain. Economic growth expected to stay in line with the U.S., meaning sales should continue to increase in 2016. Hyundai entering market in mid-2014, and Kia starting up this past summer, have made the market more competitive, and most companies took market-share hits, although their volumes were up. The advent of Hyundai and Kia, though they do sell domestically produced vehicles in Mexico, increased import penetration in 2015 to over 38% from 37% in 2014. Import penetration is forecast to remain flat in 2016. CUVs are growing in Mexico but small cars, including a heavy mix of imported entry-level models, continue as the dominant segment with roughly 60% penetration. Paste from slide 6

Forecast North American Light-Vehicle Production by Manufacturer 2014 Actual: 16.95 million 2015 Forecast: 17.46 million 2016 Forecast: 17.88 million Source: WardsAuto/AutoForecast Solutions

Forecast North American Production by Quarter SLIDE 8 NA PRODUCTION AND CAPACITY X QTR

Forecast North American Production by Car Segment Group Thrust of small-car increase from Mazda beginning production for Toyota – Yaris and Scion iA – off its SkyActiv-B platform. Export output also a positive factor, offsetting weak demand in North America Weak demand causing production cut; nearly every major platform in this group will drop – one notable exception is GM-Epsilon (new Malibu) Demand for full-size cars all but dried up and getting worse. Dominated by Chevrolet Impala, Ford Taurus and Fiat-Chrysler LX-platform vehicles Slide 12 na production x segment grp Majority of N. American luxury-car sales come from imports. Of the ~80 vehicles in this segment, only one-third have year-over-year sales increases, and only a handful of those are domestically produced. Increased production largely due to replacement of overseas sourcing (Lexus ES)

Forecast North American Production by Light-Truck Segment Group Production increase would be stronger except many of the hottest vehicles, besides such vehicles as the Europe-built Fiat 500X, Jeep Renegade and South Korea-made Buick Encore, are luxury imports. Also, capacity constraints are causing some manufacturers to dual-source by bringing in more overseas-built versions (Chevrolet Trax, Honda HRV, Nissan Rogue, Toyota RAV4). Decline based on Nissan ending Xterra in August and Armada in December, and that 2015 included some inventory catch-up for GM’s large SUVs. (Note: some signs are pointing to a boom in Q4 SUV sales in the U.S., which could drain inventory enough to lift 2016 production above 2015) Demand continues to rise. Output could go higher if Fiat-Chrysler and GM decide to get more competitive with Ford while it finally enjoys some year-over-year sales gains from the redesigned F-150 Slide 12 na production x segment grp Largely a rebound from lost production in 2015 when Fiat-Chrysler closed its Windsor plant for three months to begin tooling for the new Chrysler Town & Country coming next year Demand expected relatively flat with competition a little stiffer from import models
