As many of you know I read for several hours every morning. Today I thought I would share just one small article that applies to our industry. Things are looking pretty bright.
SANTA MONICA, California — March car sales are poised to go out like a lion, according to an Edmunds.com forecast.
This month is set to be one of the strongest months ever for the U.S. auto industry, fueled by consumer confidence, low gas prices and attractive deals.
“March auto sales show another month of positive year-over-year growth, rounding out a consistently strong first quarter for the industry,” said Jessica Caldwell, Edmunds.com director of industry analysis. “The sales we saw in these three months sets us up for another potentially record-breaking year, especially as we begin to approach the popular summer selling season.”
The projected sales will be a 23.5 percent increase from February 2016 and a 7.3 percent increase from March 2015.
The AAA Daily Fuel Gauge Report on Monday pegged the average price for a gallon of unleaded gasoline at $2.03, compared to $1.74 a month ago.
Despite the rise in gas prices, consumers are in an upbeat mood, according to the latest nationwide consumer-confidence survey by the University of Michigan.
“Consumers judged their financial prospects for the year ahead more favorably in the February 2016 survey than any other time since October 2006,” University of Michigan Survey of Consumers said. “Overall, it would appear that consumers have accommodated slower economic growth as well as rising gas prices without an accompanying rise in uncertainty about their own personal financial situation.”
Edmunds says: With shoppers crowding showrooms, this may be shaping up as a record-breaking year for car sales.
So Have a great start the to week and lets have a big finish and look forward to another great year.
I am grateful for all of you.

Awesome news!!!!
I also consider Bolton a good choice. Sadly America today would not accept him. They like the Hollywood personality types.When I think of a GOP 'messiah' I envision Perry rather than Sarah Palin, who is worth 10 of Perry any day.
Lennis?Ett vanligt sätt att bilda smeknamn är ju med -is: Lennis. Att koppla ihop smeknamn med nationalkaraktär är ju bara trams, tycker jag för övrigt. Det är väl snarare så att det finns smeknamn i månge eller alla (?) kulturer, men däremot kanske de inte används utanför hemmet så ofta som i Sverige. Då handlar det ju mer om vardaglig och officiell stil etc.
Posted on Hmm is anyone else encountering problems with the images on this blog loading? I'm trying to determine if its a problem on my end or if it's the blog. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Greetings!I am Earl Caoile, a resident of the Municipality of Manaoag and a history major of the College of Social Sciences at the University of the Philippines Baguio. I am undertaking research on the Manila-Dagupan Rail for my undergraduate thesis. May I request from your good office any form of assistance for this research.Thank you for the attention. Any assistance and courtesy would be greatly appreciated.
I think it would be interesting to compare the various European populations, especially to see the Nordic/Alpine splits (i.e. northern vs. southern German, the various strands of the French, the composition of the Irish, etc.)
Ã…h jättefin tapet!Just nu har jag en lila inredningsperiod, sÃ¥ jag kan ju inte annat än säga lila. Och speciellt när det gäller ett tjejrum:) Fint att matcha bÃ¥de till tapeten och det vita, men även till detaljer i silver eller guld t.ex. pÃ¥ spegel osv…Kram/C.
