“The sales pace has improved from a year ago though we expect it to be on par with the prior month when adjusting for selling days. With the backdrop of increased interest rates and sustained elevated pricing, the limiting factor for sales may be shifting from inventory to affordability,” said Zack Krelle<\/span>, Industry Analyst at TrueCar. “We are keeping a close eye on counter-measures to tackle affordability concerns.”<\/p>\n

“In October we’re seeing Honda, Nissan and General Motors continuing to gain traction in sales, with last month’s indication of positive growth materializing into this month,” said Justin Colon<\/span>, Vice President of OEM Solutions at TrueCar. “GM’s huge push into electric vehicles is building momentum while the Malibu<\/span> is currently positioned to capture sales as an affordability outlet.”<\/p>\n
