Total Vehicle Sales measures the number of new domestic and imported cars and light trucks sold in the United States. This indicator is a critical component of consumer spending and reflects the overall health of the economy and consumer confidence. High sales figures often suggest a robust economy and strong discretionary income.
Data is aggregated from manufacturer reports and compiled by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) to represent seasonally adjusted annual rates.
