This graph shows actual sales from the BEA (Blue), and Wards forecast for July (Red).
Sales have bounced back from the April low, but are still down sharply year-over-year.
The Wards forecast of 14.1 million SAAR, would be up 8% from June, and down 16% from July 2019.
This would put sales in 2020, through July, down about 23% compared to the same period in 2019.
