Automotive Market Continues to Improve as Auto Manufacturers Post Strong August Sales Results
The Paragon Report Provides Stock Research on Honda and Toyota
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 09/06/12 -- Domestic auto sales have benefited from pent up demand in 2012 as consumers have flocked to showrooms to replace ageing vehicles, which many delayed during the depths of the economic downturn. Currently the average vehicle on the road is a record 10.8 years old. "People have been holding off new purchases for such a long time, since 2008 to now," said Yingzi Su, GM's senior economist. The Paragon Report examines investing opportunities in the Auto Manufacturers Industry and provides equity research on Honda Motor Co. Ltd. (NYSE: HMC) and Toyota Motor Corporation (NYSE: TM).
