If you like to shop on cars then this year is the perfect one for you. Low interest rates and lots of high-tech choices in the market this year might open the doors to huge car discounts. It's a good time to buy a car now, and it should be for the rest of the year. New-vehicle sales hit a record of 17.55 million in the U.S. last year. While they're not expected to top that this year, demand is still strong. Many of the factors that fueled sales last year are still in place, like solid consumer confidence and low gas prices.

U.S. sales of new cars and trucks hit a record high in 2016, automakers said on Wednesday, and investors bid up shares in the sector as strong consumer confidence and relatively low fuel prices bolstered the industry's outlook. December sales rose 3 percent, and on a seasonally adjusted annualized basis were 18.43 million vehicles. The results prompted executives from the three biggest sellers in the U.S. market, GM, Ford, and Toyota Motor Corp, (7203.T), to predict that this year's sales will be near 2016's record levels. U.S. consumer confidence reached levels not see...
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.

Apparently the three largest manufacturers in the country, Ford, General Motors and FCA, are already gettin...
Automakers may recall as many as 400,000 vehicles that have Autoliv Inc. seat belt and airbag parts worldwide, the Swedish auto safety parts maker said on Friday. No crashes or injuries have been reported in the two separate issues Autoliv reported to U.S. safety regulators and the costs of the potential recalls will not be material to Autoliv earnings, company spokesman Thomas Jonsson said. Autoliv said there are possible glitches in its widely used seat belt pretensioners, which work to tighten seat belts to better secure a driver or passenger, and a product that initiates the pro...
As consumers keep snubbing sedans despite record consumer discounts, the U.S. auto sales will probably decline slightly for December. Specialists forecast manufacturers' discounts offered to close sales would hit a record high of more than $4,000 per vehicle in December. The consultancies estimated sales at 17.5 million vehicles on a seasonally adjusted annualized basis this month, flat with a year ago. Detroit automakers are moving to cut production of certain vehicles, particularly small and mid-sized sedans, as they concede that the market is hitting a plateau where the...
