So while it's increasingly unlikely that 2016 will beat last year's record for total light-vehicle volume, sales of the big vehicles that generate the bulk of many automakers' profits are at an all-time high. From that perspective, with gasoline prices expect...
The US car sales are down and of course, Amarillo is not an exception. It's been revealed that local dealers sell 21% less new cars, comparing to the same month last year. New auto sales have dropped 0.2% across the nation. It includes the first three-month consecutive decline the car market has seen since the recession.
