We weren't going to see rapid growth month after month after month. Indeed, monthly year-over-year improvements for the industry as a whole averaged 7.6% over the last four months. The U.S. auto industry was up 6% in October 2014 as a handful of automakers reported big gains, and a handful struggled to match last year's pace.
The Chrysler Group was up 22%, for example, but inside that total was Dodge's 8% decline and Jeep's 52% improvement. GM sales were level despite Buick's 6.5% increase and Cadillac's 8% decrease.
