auto sales

U.S. auto sales were stronger than expected in May, boosted by Memorial Day promotions and strong demand for new SUVs.

Hot sales of small and midsize SUVs drove auto sales higher last month as General Motors, Ford, Toyota, Fiat Chrysler and Nissan all reported U.S. sales gains.

U.S. car buyers stepped on the brakes in March, a sign of a long-expected slowdown in the blistering pace of sales.

So far this year, auto sales have picked up right where they left off in 2014: They continue to improve.
