pact. GM sold 8,251 Sonics in March. Sales of the Chevrolet Cruze small car were up 20 percent. Ford said it had its best March since 2007. Focus sales were up 65 percent compared with last March.

But that came at a price. Sales of the Fiesta subcompact fell 34 percent as buyers ocked to the newer and bigger Focus. For Chrysler, it was the best month for the company in four years. Chrysler said Fiat sales hit 3,712, compared with 500 last March when the Fiat 500 subcompact was rst on the market. The Fiat 500 is growing in popularity as new dealerships open and fuel prices rise.

Sales of 200 and 300 sedans each dou bled over last March. Both cars have recently been revamped and have better fuel economy than previous models, which is attracting new buyers. Jeep brand sales rose 36 percent on the strength of the Jeep Grand Cherokee. March saw more growth in loans to subprime buyers, which boosted sales. Je er ies analyst Peter Nesvold wrote in a note to investors that nonprime buyers, or those with less than stellar credit, are coming back into the market after being shut out for several years due to lack of loan availability.

GM said 9.5 percent of its buyers were subprime in March, compared with 6.1 percent in all of 2011. AutoNation, the Fort Lauderdale, auto retailer, said Tuesday that its sales rose 15 percent in March, mostly on the strength of Detroit brands, which were up 26 percent. Other automakers reporting Tuesday: Nissan Motor Co. said sales were up 12.5 percent to 136,317, making it the best month in history. Sales of the new Versa small car rose 41 percent, while Altima midsize sedan sales were up 27 percent.

numbers got a boost from higher than usual incentives, which TrueCar.com estimated rose 28 percent to $3,115 per vehicle. Nissan is trying to sell its remaining Altima sedans before a new Altima goes on sale in July. Industry incentives averaged $2,440 per vehicle. Volkswagen AG said its sales rose 35 percent to 36,588, the best March sales since 1973. Volkswagen saw big gains with the new Passat sedan and the new Beetle.

Car and truck sales boosted in part by re-emergence of subprime loans Autos Continued from into a new but familiar gig, serving as a feature reporter for the station one of many roles held during two separate stints at KEYE. will have more time now to do what he does best, telling KEYE news director Suzanne Black said.
