Sales at major automakers are up and down. General Motors sold 3% more cars in May 2015 than in May of last year; while Ford sold 1.3% fewer cars in the same period, and Fiat Chrysler sold 4% more cars over the same period. U.S. auto industry sales may reach the elusive 17 million cars in 2015 – based on sales through May; quite a remarkable turnaround since the recent recession, when just 5.7 million cars were sold in 2009. A brightening job outlook, relatively cheap gas prices, and moderate price increases for new cars may contribute to making 2015 the best year in car sales since 2001. Here are some of the best automobile manufacturers TheStreet Quant Ratings says you should consider looking at. Number 6 is Winnebago Industries.
