Ford's third-quarter US auto sales rise on pickup, crossover SUV demand

American buyers have also been swayed by attractive financing options and trade-in deals on new vehicles, which have advanced safety technology and better fuel efficiency ratings. However, analysts eye a bumpy road ahead for the Detroit Three automakers due to the ongoing coordinated strike by the United Auto Workers union against the companies that has sparked concerns over supply disruptions in the current quarter.
