This trend shows<br \/>\nthat vehicle inventories have fully recovered from the<br \/>\nsemiconductor shortage two years ago, with surpluses returning to<br \/>\npre-pandemic levels. Available inventory has exceeded three million<br \/>\nunits for three consecutive months, and dealers must contend with<br \/>\nvehicles remaining on lots for an average of 81 days.<\/p>\n<p >Rising inventory levels cut across most manufacturers, but seven<br \/>\nbrands face more pressure to clear their lots. Cadillac, Ford, GMC,<br \/>\nHonda, Hyundai, Kia and Land Rover are all experiencing inventory<br \/>\ngrowth above 50% (Figure 1).
