A survey of 41 auto analysts conducted by Thomson Reuters resulted in an average prediction of a annualized 14.4 million vehicle pace for April. That figure would essentially match the March results and represent a significant increase from the 13.2 million pace of the same period last year.
However, some analysts cautioned that the positive momentum might not continue for the rest of the year.
"There's a feeling that the first quarter is as good as it gets. The rest of the year is going to be complicated with more European tail risks and political risk," said Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas.
