October Auto Sales: The Leading Edge Of An Economic Rebound?
While U.S. economic news is hardly good, somehow auto sales again proved to be a bright spot in October.
As the housing sector remains on a downward slide in much of the country, manufacturing growth slowed, and economists wondered how Greece's nearing economic meltdown will affect the global economy, Americans are buying cars at a surprisingly hot rate . At early tallies, industry-wide auto sales this past month looked about ten percent higher than last October.
General Motors [NYSE: GM] and Ford Motor Co. [NYSE: F] both reported modest gains year-over-year, but it was Chrysler that really picked up the pace in October. Sales of the Chrysler brand itself were up 28 percent, compared to last October, while company-wide, gains were almost as good, at 27 percent.
Volkswagen, which just started assembling 2012 Passat models in Tennessee, reported sales up about 40 percent, and Hyundai ( HYMLF.PK ) sales were up 23 percent, both compared to last October. And Kia continued to surge, with its calendar-year-to-date sales now more than 35 percent higher than this time in 2010. Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Volvo also showed especially strong gains from last October.
