Unit car and truck sales rose 1.5% in November to 16.495 million after climbing 3.1% in October and 3.4% in September.  Car sales in recent months seem to be picking up from the 15.5-16.0 million pace that existed for more than a year.

We saw GDP growth of 2.8% in the third quarter.  That should be followed by 2.5% GDP growth in the fourth quarter.
