Sales beat estimates slightly
Sales were expected around 17.45m so it's a decently strong beat, despite some weaker numbers reported earlier in the day.
That's a good sign at first blush but there has been talk of heavy discounting so be careful in drawing conclusions about the strength of the US consumer.
Domestic sales ran at a 13.87m rate compared to 13.33m expected and 13.13m prior.
Separately, Autodata is out with its sales measure and pegs the sales rate at 17.76m.
