October 2015 sales
A new month is here...
Automotive industry consultants J.D. Power and LMC Automotive said Friday strong pickup truck and sports utility vehicle sales have led them to raise their forecast for auto sales in 2015 to 17.3 million vehicles from 17.2 million, a 5 percent rise from a year earlier.
For October, U.S. auto sales are forecast to rise 8.2 percent from a year ago, the consultancies said in a statement.
Auto sales in October compared to last month are expected to fall 3.9 percent, largely because September had five weekends, said John Humphrey of JD Power.
October sales are forecast at 17.4 million vehicles on a seasonally adjusted annualized basis, compared with 18.2 million in annualized sales last month and 16.5 million last October.
Humphrey said U.S. retail auto sales for October will be the strongest since 2001 for that month.

General Motors’ (NYSE: GM) Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac brands sold 262,993 vehicles in the United States in October 2015, with Chevrolet posting its best October sales since 2004.
GM’s total and retail deliveries – sales to individual customers – climbed 16 percent compared with a year ago, outpacing a very strong industry, and the company’s retail market share has now climbed for seven consecutive months versus 2014. Commercial deliveries in October were up year over year for the 24th consecutive monthly gain. Total fleet sales were up 16 percent.
“The redesign of our full-size trucks and SUVs, and our move into the small crossover and mid-size pickup segments were smart bets and our timing couldn’t be better with industry sales at record levels,” said Kurt McNeil, GM’s U.S. vice president of Sales Operations. “Customers are also embracing our Shop-Click-Drive online shopping program, where the price you see is the price you pay. We see more growth ahead because it’s simple and transparent.”
