This week’s Black Book Market Insights report looks at a handful of car segments that have continued to increase in value this spring, with particular emphasis on smaller car and sporty car segments as of late. The report also takes a look at the latest trends in incentives, showing how incentives on compact cars are higher than the industry average currently.

“Broad market strength seen last week across most car and truck segments. Luxury segments are largely sitting out the extended spring rally this year,” said Anil Goyal, Executive Vice President, Operations.
