MONTREAL, June 1 (Reuters) - Fiat Chrysler Automobiles
FCHA.MI on Wednesday reported a 0.3 percent rise in May auto
sales in Canada, led by Jeeps and minivans, as analysts forecast
another record year for the Canadian industry.
FCA Canada said it sold 31,724 vehicles, a monthly record.
In April, total Canadian industry sales exceeded 200,000
light vehicles, the most in a month.
In a May report, TD Economics said the industry was on track
for another sales record in 2016.
The U.S. auto industry also was headed for another record
year, even as May new-vehicle sales reported through Wednesday
declined due to weak demand for sedans, analysts said. General
Motors Co GM.N , the largest U.S. automaker, reported an 18
percent drop to 240,450 vehicles from a year earlier.
