    What an unprecedented time to be tracking automotive stats. During this time of uncertainty we want to help by providing some real metrics on what is actually happening in dealerships today. I designed a data command center to track everything we can see across all of our integrations.

    For the first half of March 2020, which includes the beginning of self-quarantines and social distancing, in-market shopper volume fell to its lowest level in more than six years, a clear indicator that March 2020 sales -- and beyond -- are in for some turbulence ahead, says Dennis Bulgarelli, vice president, automotive, Comscore.

    Annual sales projections for 2020 have decreased, from 16.8 million vehicles just last month to 14 million to 16 million vehicles in reaction to the ongoing health crisis, per Comscore.
