Severe winter weather slammed U.S. new-car sales in January. But U.S. automakers managed to hold the line as the year got off to a middling start. General Motors sales rose 1.3% for the month. Ford sales fell 6.6%, and Fiat Chrysler tumbled 12.8%. Japanese automakers offset some of those declines. Overall, industry sales rose 1% compared to a year earlier, according to Autodata Corp.
