Unit car and truck sales rose 2.7% in August to 16.764 million after having declined 2.5% in July..
Car sales bounce around a lot from month to monthly but the reality is that car sales have been quite steady. They have been hovering around the 16.0 million pace for the past couple of years. but have edged up to about 16.5 million in recent months.
Look for GDP growth of 3.5% for the third quarter of this year and 2.4% for the year as a whole followed by 2.8% growth in 2027.
