As consumers keep snubbing sedans despite record consumer discounts, the U.S. auto sales will probably decline slightly for December.

The consultancies estimated sales at 17.5 million vehicles on a seasonally adjusted annualized basis this month, flat with a year ago.

As 2016 is almost over, the U.S. auto market is on the verge of setting a new sales record, beating last year's mark of 17.5 million new cars and trucks.

And with some car models nearing six months of supply, GM will stop assembly lines for three weeks in January at Detroit-Hamtramck, according to the United Auto Workers union. The automaker announced in November it would cut shifts at plants in Lansin...
This Tuesday General Motors has asked the supreme Court to overturn an appellate court's ruling that the automaker's 2009 bankruptcy does not shield it from lawsuits over a faulty ignition switch linked to at least 124 deaths and 274 injuries. Whether you like it or not, the petition market a last-ditch effort by GM to block hundreds of customer lawsuits over faulty ignition switches, and other vehicles components, on grounds that they were barred by the automaker's 2009 bankruptcy sale to a new corporate entity. In its petition, GM said the federal bankruptcy code permi...
