The car sales numbers will fall below the same month a year ago despite a relatively high level of incentives car sales are especially on the decline, as opposed to trucks, a category that includes pickups, SUVs, crossover SUVs and minivans. Based on online shopping, we are expecting total U.S. auto sales, including cars and trucks, to fall about 6% in October. The fact that October 2016 had fewer official “selling days” than October 2015, and sales were especially strong a year ago contributed to a po...
