The continuing fall in US auto sales in the first 5 months of 2017 has raised concerns about the future of auto demand in the country. But even considering the decrease there are factors which are still favoring the US automotive industry: US demand for trucks and SUVs- The first key positive factor for automakers is that auto buyers’ inclination for heavyweight vehicles such as trucks and UVs (utility vehicles) is intact. US car sales have fallen 11.0% to 2.7 million units in the first five months of 2017. In contrast, US truck sales have risen 4.7% to 4.3 million u...

That would represent four straight years of declines for GM's rental deliveries, which already dropped from 16.1 percen...
People say everything beautiful comes to an end, this might sound not so optimistic, but considering the thing that the US auto sales boom is over, these words might be true. The sales pace for May came in under 17 million for a fourth consecutive month, signaling that another record year is unlikely. The best case is that 2017 will match 2016's 17.55 million. A pace of 18 million hasn't looked probable for some time, and in any case after two boom years, a jump of 500,000 vehicles sold by the end of 2017 would be a very hot market indeed. Specialists say that if we wan...
