Auto sales "were slightly below expectations [industry-wide], but despite all the negative macroeconomic trends, we actually did pretty well," said Jesse Toprak, vice president of market intelligence at TrueCar.com. "We are still up dramatically from last year and the underlying consumer demand is strong."

Toyota's monthly sales saw 87.3 percent increases to total 202,973. "Toyota, as expected, posted a stunning year-over-year percentage increase; remember where Toyota was a year ago, however, largely without much product to sell because of the earthquake and tsunami," said Michelle Krebs, senior analyst at Edmunds.com. "Ford held the No. 2 sales spot over Toyota, a position that looked to be at risk."

Honda Motor Co. recently announced that it has begun construction on a new auto plant in Indonesia. With annual production capacity of 120,000 units, the new auto plant is scheduled to begin production in 2014 in order to continue meeting demands in the rapidly growing automobile market in Indonesia.
