From MarketWatch: Ford U.S. Nov. sales flat at 123,167 units

Update: CNBC is reporting Ford Motor November US Sales Rise 8.6% on an Adjusted Basis

UPDATE2:

MarketWatch: Chrysler Nov. sales down 25%

MarketWatch: Toyota U.S. Nov. sales rise 2.6%

GM U.S. November sales decline 2.2%

This is a comparison to Nov 2008.

This graph shows total U.S. light vehicle sales (seasonally adjusted annual rate) from the BEA since Jan 2006.

Sales declined sharply in Oct 2008, and fell further in November. On a year-over-year basis light vehicle sales declined slightly in October (Blue labels and arrow), but the comparison is easier for November (red data label for November 2008).

So the Ford numbers seem disappointing.

Once all the reports are released, I'll post a graph of the estimated total November sales (SAAR: seasonally adjusted annual rate) - usually around 4 PM ET.
