Forecasters expected a strong November as far as U.S. light vehicles sales go, and they got a strong November. Data after the jump.
The highlights:
- Chrysler’s group sales rose 14 percent as more or less expected.
- Hyundai is up 8 percent, slightly below expectations..
- Ford sales are up 6.5 percent, higher than expected. Focus sales up 56 percent to 18,312.
- Nissan group sales are up 13 percent, beating expectations by a wide margin.
- GM’s US sales are up 3.3 percent, below expectations.
- Toyota says its U.S. group sales are up 17.2 percent. We call that in-line with expectations,
- Volkswagen U.S. band (not group) sales are up 29.3 percent, slightly better than expected.

- Ajla "2010-2019 Borrego"The Borrego only had model years 2009 - 2011 in the United States. The Borrego/Mohave did exist in international markets beyond them but the NHTSA of the United States would not be handling a recall on those. It's annoying that apparently the manufacturer, the federal regulator, and automotive press didn't notice this.
- SilverCoupe The last Accord I test drove was in 1978, but I ended up buying a VW Scirocco instead. The Accords have put on quite a bit of weight since, then, but then again, so have I!
- Merc190 I would like to show the stylists this new model side by side to a 93 Accord SE in black and point out how the older model looked better in every single detail.
- Sobhuza Trooper Too many folks need that /sarc/ tag. In my opinion, that tag is the equivalent of a television laugh track. If you need the laugh track to know that last line was supposed to be funny, you're pretty hopeless.
- Canam23 A fine car, but I still preferred the Mazda 6, very pretty and zoom zoom!

Is Mitsubishi in really big trouble? DeathWatch sized trouble?
The EPA scandal doesn't seem to be having much of any effect on Hyundai Group's sales. I didn't think it would either.
