SANTA MONICA, Calif., Oct 27, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- An estimated 1,033,257 new cars will be sold in October, for a projected Seasonally Adjusted Annual Rate (SAAR) of 13.4 million units, forecasts Edmunds.com, the premier online resource for automotive information. This sales pace would mark the highest monthly SAAR since August 2009, when sales were inflated by the Cash for Clunkers program.

Edmunds.com analysts attribute October's sales results to the release of pent-up demand that has been building for more than a year. As a result, the auto industry may be in the midst of a small sales bubble.

GM recently announced the development of a vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications system which may change the way we drive.

For instance a car traveling ahead of another car may detect a pot hole in the road or some other obstacle and this information would be available to other vehicles.

GM sales show that sales are up for their crossover vehicles, 46% for the Equinox and 59% for the Terrain.

Chevrolet will begin an advertising campaign for the Sonic starting October 15th. The campaign will be targeting young buyers. As part of the "Let's Do This" campaign, the sonic will bungee jump from a 10 story structure and skydive in Arizona.
