Automakers say February was a very good month.

The world's auto companies say sales were up solidly from a year ago and from last month. General Motors led the way with more than 200,000 vehicles sold.

One analyst says truck sales have been strong, which is a good sign for the economy. Small businesses buy most full sized trucks, and there's typically a link between those sales and the housing market.
