Power and LMC Automotive think.This May wasn't this friendly to new car sales, that is why they will fall down to 5.7% from the same month last year. The reason of such a decrease is partly because this year has two fewer selling days. That's how the seasonally adjusted annualized rate will slip to 17.4 million vehicles from 17.71 million in May a year earlier. This April, had the same adjusted annualized results as this May may have. Because of these runnin...
