U.S. new vehicle sales likely rose in the third quarter on improving supply and steady demand, but a strike by autoworkers has muddied the outlook for the "Detroit Three" for the rest of the year, analysts said. General Motors was set to remain the top-selling automaker with 680,009 vehicles sold in the quarter ended September, while second-placed Toyota was expected to finish the quarter at 583,661 vehicle sales, according to car shopping website Edmunds. But that may change after the United Auto Workers (UAW) union launched unprecedented, coordinated strikes against GM, Ford and Stellantis last month.
