According to new figures from U.S. automakers, U.S. car sales increased in the third financial quarter despite a slew of obstacles in the auto market’s path.
Automaking giant General Motors reported a 21% year-over-over increase in sales Q3, a bump likely due to the company’s improved vehicle supply.
Ford is also predicted to report a 8% sales increase Wednesday, while Stellantis experienced a slight 1% dip in sales.
The vehicle sales growth came in the face of rising interest rates, high costs and the ongoing United Auto Workers strike, though analysts say the strike is too new to have affected automakers’ sales yet.
