General Motors appears to have won the October sales race among the big automakers. GM only saw its sales fall by 1.7 percent in October. It has good company in those sales declines, being joined by nearly all the other car makers. Overall, automobile sales in the U.S. are expected to drop between six and eight percent when all the reports are in. Actually, the list of car companies with sales increases is easy enough to list: Hyundai-Kia, Subaru, Tesla, Jaguar Land Rover and Mitsubishi.
