Auto Sales Dip Expected as May Rebound Hopes Face Skepticism
Analysts expect April U.S. domestic car sales to slip 1 to 2 percent from March with a 515,000 figure. Imports may rise 15 percent year over year but fall 10 percent from March to about 130,000, keeping imports above 20 percent of the market for April. Optimism persists for a May rebound, though production increases could worsen inventories and trigger recalls or layoffs if demand remains weak.
