U.S. automakers post healthy sales gains in 2013

With unit sales up between 7 and 11% in 2013, GM, Ford, and Chrysler are looking fashionable again.

Excerpt:

"Five years after the biggest decline in U.S. auto sales since the Great Depression and mere weeks after the U.S. Treasury sold the last of its  GM  GM  -3.47%  stock and  FiatF.MI  -3.41%  finagled the last of Chrysler from the United Auto Workers, the American giants were once again striding the aisles of Cobo Center (formerly Cobo Hall), the riverside address of the North American International Auto Show in downtown Detroit. The Corvette ZO6 is so sharp you could open an artery on it. The 2015 Ford Mustang—with an independent rear suspension, if that means anything to you—is even more wonderfully voracious and bratty, a horse that bites. Love it."
