Blame Sandy: Super Storm Found Guilty For Raining On Chrysler October Sales

Chrysler Group's U.S. sales rose only 10 percent in October, the smallest gain since May 2011. As suspected yesterday, Super-Sandy has been fingered as the culprit.

Chrysler told Automotive News [sub] that "October sales were affected by the major hurricane and storm that pummeled the eastern U.S. seaboard early this week." Dodge is up 20 percent, Ram 17 percent. The Chrysler brand gained only 5 percent.

Jeep sales are down 5-percent, which oddly was blamed on the hurricane, along with the discontinuation of the Jeep Liberty.

We shall follow the October sales numbers throughout the day.
