Edmunds, the leading car shopping and information platform, forecasts that 1,609,846 new cars and trucks will be sold in the U.S. in March, for an estimated Seasonally Adjusted Annual Rate (SAAR) of 17.2 million. This reflects a 21 percent increase in sales from February 2017, and a 2 percent increase from March 2016. Edmunds experts also forecast that auto sales in the first quarter of 2017 will total 4,076,463, which is essentially flat compared to Q1 of 2016 when 4,083,747 vehicles were sold.
