F&I Tools Key Points

2022 US full year car sales included 13.7 million vehicles, down 9% compared to the previous year.

GM reclaimed the #1 position from Toyota by holding steady, up 1% year-over-year, while Toyota dropped 10% compared to last year.

USA car sales volume dwindled in 2022 due to global economics, but profits and revenue for cars remain strong, and the US automotive industry is well positioned for prosperity when global auto sales rebalance.
