Best December for car sales in 8 years, from Washington Business Journal.
December may have been the best month for new car, truck and SUV sales in the U.S. since 2006, according to sales estimates from Cars.com.
The consumer research site, owned by McLean-based Gannett Co. Inc. (NYSE: GCI), says new vehicle sales will top 1.5 million in December, up 11.3 percent from December 2013 and up 16 percent from last month.
That would bring the seasonally adjusted annual sales to 16.86 million.
