As vendas de carros e comerciais leves nos Estados Unidos continuam em alta
Em Fevereiro, as venda de carros nos Estados Unidos tiveram aumento de 27%, o que representa o maior crescimento desde o incentivo “cash for clunkers” em 2009. A General Motors continua liderando o mercado, seguida pela Ford, e Toyota, que por sinal vem mostrando sinais de recuperação. A VW continua perdendo participação no mercado, e pelo jeito o medíocre novo Jetta não está vendendo bem. Por outro lado a Hyundai continua crescendo e apresenta bons números de venda. Confira os números de Fevereiro abaixo:
