(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 03/21/12 -- Domestic auto sales have been on an impressive upswing in 2012 as an improving U.S. economy has boosted demand for vehicles.

The average vehicle on the road is a record 10.8 years old, Reuters reports. The Paragon Report examines the outlook for companies in the Auto Manufacturing industry and provides equity research on General Motors Company (NYSE: GM) and Tesla Motors, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA).

Auto sales surged in China last month. Total vehicles sales grew 24.5 percent to 1.57 million units, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers said on its website. While February results were strong, China's auto sales have slowed after the government rolled back sales incentives and some cities imposed tough restrictions on car numbers to ease chronic traffic congestion and pollution, The Associated Press reports.
In Europe, car sales across the continent fell nearly 10 percent year-on-year in February, as the debt crisis continues to curtail spending. France reported sales down 20 percent while Italy posted a 19 percent year-on-year drop in car sales last month.
