Grand Cherokee lifts Jeep, Toyota falls hard

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog....1286476020.jpgAfter a couple days of delay, sales numbers for the month of October are finally in, and most automotive brands earned a treat instead of a trick.

The majority of brands for sale in the U.S. achieved an increase in sales versus the same month last year, and of those, the majority posted a double-digit gain in sales. Jeep pulled off a triple-digit sales gain, seeing volume rise an incredible 111 percent thanks to the new Grand Cherokee, sales of which rose from a scant 3,256 units last October to an impressive 12,721 this October.

The biggest surprise is Toyota joining the cellar dwellers with a 6.2-percent drop in sales. Despite an 8-percent rise in sales, Lexus and its relatively low sales volume couldn't save the company as Toyota as a whole fell 4.4 percent.
