NOTES
This table includes imported cars, but not vans, trucks, or sport utility vehicles.
Numbers may not add to totals due to rounding.
Annual numbers are calculated by averaging monthly data.
Government sales are determined by subtracting the consumer and business sales from total sales.
The data is seasonally adjusted at annual rates. These data are not comparable to the data reported in table 1-17 due to differences that arise from the seasonal adjustment.
