SANTA MONICA, Calif., Oct. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Edmunds.com, the leading car information and shopping network, forecasts that 1,356,250 new cars and trucks will be sold in the U.S. in October for an estimated Seasonally Adjusted Annual Rate (SAAR) of 17.8 million. This will be a 5.2 percent decrease from September 2016, and a 6.8 percent decrease from October 2015.

Edmunds.com projects that 14,464,835 new cars and trucks will be sold this year in the U.S. through the end of October, down 0.2 percent from the 14,500,744 sales recorded through the first 10 months of 2015's record-breaking year.

"On the surface, it might look like a slow month for sales, but in fact the industry's performance was much stronger than the raw numbers suggest," says Edmunds.com Senior Analyst Jessica Caldwell. "Even with month-to-month and year-to-year sales decreases, a 17.8 million SAAR in October would tie for the highest monthly sales rate of 2016. And considering that there are no popular weekend sales events in October, automakers and dealers can feel encouraged by this month's performance as they head into what they hope will be a busy holiday season."
