U.S. Light Vehicle Sales increase to 17.4 million annual rate in May
by Bill McBride
Based on a preliminary estimate from WardsAuto, light vehicle sales were at a 17.37 million SAAR in May (Preliminary estimate excluding Jaguar Land Rover and Volvo).
That is down about 1.5% from May 2015, and up slightly from the 17.32 million annual sales rate last month.
