Sales up 6% but it might be driven by fleets.
YTD sales down 6%. Go figure.

Lots of nuance in this one.
Electrics are still slow in production. Hard to say what's going on there. FCA US isn't going to challenge GM for electric car sales this year.

The lot full of Ram trucks with utility caps on the back that I mentioned a few months ago is slowly dwindling.
I estimated about 300 of them.

Not sure what total vehicle market is doing , but it seems like lots are full of new vehicles. I have to drive by several after I get out of our subdivision Ram dealer lots is full if not overflowing Caddy has rows and rows of un-wrapped vehicles. VW is packed, the Hyndia and Kia built new lots behind there regual lot sna both are full of new vehicles..Small GM dealer has rows of the Encores

I don't have access to inventory reports any more but... well, I think a lot of people are looking at what they'll spend on health insurance next year, when the subsidies are gone, and are looking at the jobs reports (even filtered through BLS, apparently a lot of jobs went away), and ... deciding accordingly.
