The 5% year-over-year improvement translated to nearly 64,000 extra sales compared with February 2014. The fastest-growing auto brand was Mini, although Jeep's 21% jump was tops among volume brands. Smart and Maserati posted the worst decreases, but Jeep's Dodge partner brand was down 15%, worst among volume brands.
General Motors, the top-selling manufacturer of automobiles in America, posted harsh declines with its smaller Buick and Cadillac brands but a meaningful Chevrolet improvement and a 19% jump in GMC sales. GM sold 69,628 pickup trucks in February 2015.
FCA's 6% increase occurred despite falling Fiat and Dodge sales. As we've come to expect, the brand's biggest seller was Jeep, the same brand responsible for much of FCA/Chrysler Group's U.S. sales growth.
The Ford Motor Company reported a 2% decrease as the Lincoln brand took a sharp dive and Ford brand sales slid slightly: Ford cars fell 6%, Ford utilities slid 4%, Ford F-Series volume was down 1%.
