Through the end of November, U.S. auto sales had risen 14%. The jump in December appears to be a little below 10%, so we're looking at, approximately speaking, a 13% jump in U.S. new vehicle sales in 2012.
Much of that increase has been provided by Honda and Toyota, automakers which suffered greatly in 2011. But vehicles like the eminently popular Ford F-Series, the Ford Focus, America's best-selling American-badged car, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and even the Jeep Wrangler have produced tremendous improvements, as well.
Sans Sprinter, Mercedes-Benz lost the luxury brand war by 7506 sales. BMW had a huge December. Ford was America's most popular brand, although General Motors sells more cars than FoMoCo.
