The smallest increase this past week was the sub-compact car segment at 0.42%. In sharp contrast, the largest increase was the expensive premium sporty car segment at 1.33%.
For trucks, the only segment not experiencing a large gain was the full-size van segment. This is a segment that has continued to track along as if we are in a “normal” market with only small up and down price changes.
