This graph shows actual sales from the BEA (Blue), and Wards forecast for September (Red).

Sales have bounced back from the April low, but are still down year-over-year.

The Wards forecast of 16.2 million SAAR, would be up 6.6% from August, and down 5.2% from September 2019.

This would put sales in 2020, through September, down about 18% compared to the same period in 2019.
