Despite the harsh weather currently affecting the country, most US analysts now forecast new light vehicle sales to start with a bang in 2015 with a year-on-year gain of at least 12% in January to reach a Seasonaly Adjusted Annual Rate (SAAR) of 16.4 to 16.6 million units vs. 15.3 million a year ago. This would be the biggest year-on-year monthly gain since August 2013. General Motors predicts sales up 20% and both Ford and FCA also are aiming at double-digit gains. Final figures will be published on BSCB on Wednesday.
