November Vehicle Sales Forecast: 16.2 million SAAR, Up 5% YoY

November’s forecast SAAR of 16.2 million units is the highest since May 2021. With the month having an atypical fifth weekend, the extended timeframe means there is more upside than downside to November’s forecast – especially with retail volume already showing solid growth.
