Nissan and Infiniti lost a combined more than 6,000 vehicles that were in port or at dealers to Hurricane Sandy, said David Reuter, a Nissan spokesman. “Dealers have made a quick recovery, and all but six were operational as of Wednesday, Nov. 7,” Reuter told The Car Connection.
Hyundai’s Lori Scholz said that the company’s vehicle count stands at 400+ new Hyundai’s that were on dealer lots. Scholz added that there were other vehicles that sustained damage, such as broken windshields due to the storms, that are not included in the count and “we are not tracking them.”
Ford said its dealers lost an estimated 800 vehicles in stock because of Sandy. Jim Cain, a GM spokesman, said that the automaker isn’t providing an estimate of flood-damaged vehicles but said that “based on field reports, the number is very small because the stores either weren’t in coastal areas that flooded or their dealers moved the stock before the storm.” Cain also added that there were some Chevrolet Spark subcompact cars at the Port of Newark that were damaged, “but not so many vehicles as to impact our launch momentum.”
