General Motors, the largest manufacturer in the United States, jumped 16% to 262,993 sales in October 2015, a far higher increase than the 12% predicted by forecasters. Buick's stall continues, but Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC all posted double digit gains.

Even the small brand at Toyota USA, Scion, achieved terrific growth in October 2015 thanks to a new model duo. But Toyota and its Lexus premium division recorded 12% and 13% gains, respectively, as popular vehicles like the Corolla, Camry, and RAV4 shot forward at Toyota and the NX continued to propel Lexus.

Red font indicates declining year-over-year volume
* Does not include Lamborghini 
^ Excluding Sprinter/Metris: up 1.3% to 28,952 in October; up 6.5% to 278,842 YTD.

Nissan USA's 12.5% uptick occurred as a result of 10,832 extra Nissan sales and 2098 extra Infiniti sales. 


Mitsubishi's U.S. volume in October increased for a 20th consecutive month as the brand posted a seventh consecutive double-digit gain.


Audi USA, initially only lightly linked to Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal, produced a 17% year-over-year improvement to 17,700, an October record for the brand. A3 sales jumped 15%. Porsche, another upmarket Volkswagen-owned brand, posted a significant 11% October sales increase thanks mainly to a doubling in sales of its best-selling Cayenne.


Mazda USA reported a 35% year-over-year sales improvement equal to an additional 6653 sales compared with October 2014. The 3 was up 15%, the best-selling CX-5 jumped 55%, and Mazda also sold 1382 CX-3s and 1085 new MX-5 Miatas.


For a fourth consecutive month, Subaru sold more than 50,000 vehicles in America. Forester, Impreza, Outback, and XV Crosstrek sales all increased. It was the best ever October for those vehicles and for the Subaru brand.


BMW, America's top-selling premium brand through the end of the first three-quarters, suffered a sharp drop in car sales and a harsh Mini decline, as well. BMW's X3, X4, X5, and X6 did combine for a 57% increase, however. Despite a modest increase in October, Mercedes-Benz wasn't able to outsell BMW, which now leads the premium race by 553 sales heading into November.


Kia, the smaller member in the Hyundai-Kia conglomerate, generated a 12% increase in October thanks to rising Soul, Sorento, Sportage, Cadenza, and Optima sales. Hyundai, the larger of the pair, posted a 9924-unit improvement in October thanks to big Elantra, Santa Fe, and Tucson gains.


For the first time since June 2012, Volvo sold more than 7000 new vehicles in America.
