It’s not all poor information for the car companies however. Import brand Subaru saw quite the recovery in sales from October 2008 to October 2009; a jump of 40%. The Outback station wagon was redesigned for 2010 and led the way for the company in sales. Sales of the wagon were increasing 175% from October 2008. The company’s second most admired car, the Forester had a 13% increase.

Kia also saw quite a jump in sales. The Korean car company had a 45% gain in sales for year over year sales for October. It sold 22,490 cars in October 2009 and sold 15,483 in October 2008. Its sales were led by the Kia Forte and the Borrego.
