Auto Sales Decrease in April should show

As the month of April is approaching his last days, monthly sales for the month should be sent by the manufacturers. But before the days of the sale of the month is over, auto industry analysts have predicted that U.S. auto sales figures for this month shows a reduction over the same month last year.

Experts conclude that the slow sales this month will hurt the Big Three U.S. more than it will affect Japanese automakers like Honda and Toyota.
