2023 year-to-date car sales are up 13% in the USA, and General Motors ranks #1 with nearly 2-million vehicles sold.

2023 third quarter US car sales included 3.9 million vehicles, up 17% year-over-year.

Hyundai Kia gained ground in Quarter 3, up 16%, passing Stellantis to rank #4 within the top 15 automakers in the USA.

Honda had the highest gains, up 53% year-over-year, finally rebounding from component shortages.

US car sales declined last year due to global economics, but profits and revenue for cars remain strong, and the US automotive industry is well positioned for prosperity in 2023 as global auto sales rebalance.
