2019 at the half: A slow, steady descent: U.S. sales on a pace for first sub-17 million year since '14

摘要

U.S. auto sales aren't tumbling down a cliff, but they're clearly no longer in flat, steady territory either. After six monthly declines to start the year, the industry is down 2.4 percent halfway through 2019. It's on pace to finish at slightly more than 16.9 million, which would be the first time shy of 17 million since 2014.
