“We are anticipating a strong industry for August,” said Bob Carter, vice president of sales at the automaker’s US division. “Our expectation is for a similar level (to July). “We are right on our plan for August.”
Reuters noted that automakers are scheduled to report their light-vehicle sales for August, which has two selling days less this year, on September 1.
