November Automobile Sales Increase

Chrysler Group LLC and Nissan Motor Co. led automakers in U.S. November sales gains as the industry headed for its best sales pace this year, Bloomberg reported.

Chrysler’s deliveries rose 45% to 107,172 cars and light trucks, while Nissan’s sales gained 19% to 85,182, Bloomberg said.

Ford Motor Co. deliveries rose 13% to 166,441, and General Motors Co. sales increased 6.9% to 180,402 for the month.

U.S. light-vehicle sales were on track to exceed a 13 million annual rate for a third straight month as Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda Motor Co. inventories recover from Japan’s tsunami in March, which disrupted auto-parts supply and vehicle output, Bloomberg said.
