Sydney

AUSTRALIAN new vehicle sales posted a second consecutive month of solid gains in November, with strong demand in the commercial sector pointing to a continued pick up in business spending.

The Australian Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries' VFACTS report out on Tuesday showed that 101,365 new vehicles were sold in November, up 2.5 per cent on the same month last year. Both months had the same number of selling days.
