This indicates that the home state of Ford, General Motors, and Fiat Chrysler Au...

That included 293,537 autos sold in August, a monthly record and up 18% from the year-ago period. The president of GM China has admitted that this growth was expected by the company, and this year has really been r...
Among all the vehicles offered by Ford Motor, the F-Series pickup truck has a special place in the auto market. In August 2016, nearly 67 thousand units of F-Series pickups were sold, with a YoY (year-over-year) decline of 6.1%. The F-150 is the heavy-duty, full-size pickup truck in the series.
