October sales data are coming in, and most are below forecast. Chrysler, Ford, and GM sold less than analysts predicted. Analysts had higher hopes for Toyota also. Volkswagen, up 23 percent, more or less met expectations. We will update the sales table, courtesy of Automotive News [sub] throughout the day as new numbers come in. Chrysler and GM pointed fingers at Sandy. Chrysler said it made its numbers "In spite of Hurricane Sandy." GM said it had a solid October "in a month that was marked by a devastating national tragedy." Even Volkswagen mentioned that over 25 percent of its U.S. dealerships were affected by the storm along the eastern United States. Ford did not mention the storm in its sales release.
