It’s looking like 2010 will end with the auto industry selling 11.5m units in the United States, as the SAAR over the last quarter of the year rose to about 12.4m units. We’ll update our table of December sales results as they become available, and in the meantime we’re preparing some year-end reporting of sales by automaker in the year that was. Stay tuned…

    What's the deal with Suzuki being up 40% for December but down 38% for the year? I am a regular visitor to this site and don't recall any mention of any possible cause for this.

      If that VW tie up dosn't bear fruit soon... I think Suzukis are seriously underrated, but at only 2X Porsche volume, things look grim.

    I wonder if Nissan is pissed at Hyundai. I figure they'll be losing that lead by March. Man, those Koreans are on a tear!

      Honda (and eventually Toyota) have to be scared too as Hyundai used to be 1/4 Honda sales and are about 1/2 now.
