Specialists forecast that 1,629,011 new cars and trucks will be sold in the U.S. in December, while the month is already over, we still don't know the results. This reflects an 18.5% increase from November 2016, but a 0.3 percent decrease from December 2015. Based on this forecast, they project a new annual record of 17,480,294 new cars and trucks will be sold in the U.S. in 2016. This would squeak past 2015’s record car sales by the slight margin of 0.03 percent – or less than 5,000 units. One trend running in the industry’s favor for a record-setting 2016 is ...

While U.S. auto sales are likely to set a record before 2016 draws to a close as it beats last year's mark of 17.5 million new cars and trucks, 2017 probably won't fare as well. In fact, it may surprise many people as Ford, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and General Motors are already closing production plants. Although last year's record will be broken, there's already a decrease in sales this December and forecasts say that the trend will continue throughout 2017. Apparently the three largest manufacturers in the country, Ford, General Motors and FCA, are already gettin...
It looks like 2016 U.S. auto sales may set a new record after all, by the thinnest of margins. On Wednesday, Jan 4. automakers will finally reveal their December auto sales and the sales for the full year. Specialists predicted 2016 sales would fall short of last year’s record by about 0.1 percent. Either way, call it flat, statistically. Still, that’s better than forecasters expected a few months ago.
