November car sales are expected to be strong, which would continue a string of good months for the industry, despite a rough economy

Research firm Truecar reports that

The November 2011 forecast translates into a Seasonally Adjusted Annualized Rate (SAAR) of 13.3 million new car sales, up from 13.2 million in October 2011 and up from 12.3 million in November 2010

And,

For November 2011, new light vehicle sales in the U.S. (including fleet) is expected to be 972,712 units, up 11.5 percent from November 2010 and down 4.7 percent from October 2011 (on an unadjusted basis)

GM’s (NYSE: GM) sales are expected to be 6.4% from last November to 179,362.

Ford (NYSE: F) sales are estimated to rise 10.4% to 162,191.

Toyota (NYSE: TM) sales are expected to move only .4% up to 129,819. This continues a rough string of months for Toyota due to production interruptions because of the March Japan earthquake.
