Chrysler, Nissan, Ford Post Strong March U.S. Sales Gains - WSJ.com

Powered by an improving economy, U.S. auto sales rose substantially in March with Chrysler Group LLC, Nissan Motor Co. and Ford Motor Co. leading the gains.

Chrysler reported sales of 121,730 cars and light trucks in March, an increase of 31% from a year ago and its highest monthly total in nearly three years. Nissan nearly matched Chrysler's total, selling 121,141 new vehicles, thanks to heavy incentives.

Ford sales jumped 19% to 212,295, enough to put its monthly total ahead of bigger rival General Motors Co. for only the second time since 1998.
