(www.truecar.com), the authority on new car pricing, forecasted today that January 2010 light vehicle sales (including fleet) in the U.S. will be 728,019 units, down 29% from December 2009 but up a solid 11% from this time last year (on an unadjusted basis). January’s forecast translates into a SAAR level of 11.3 million new car sales. “The improvements that we have seen in the industry in the last several months have been encouraging,” said Jesse Toprak, VP of Trends and Insights for TrueCar.com.  “But we have to remember that this time last year we were just heading into the downward spiral from which the automotive industry is – just now – starting to emerge. “What we are seeing that really sparks optimism in this recovery is a jump in the new car sales of luxury vehicles from last year.  This is significant because luxury vehicle sales are a leading indicator of consumer confidence in the marketplace.  Almost across the board we have seen sales growth in brands like BMW (13%), Mercedes Benz (32%), Lexus (30%) and Audi (20%),” added Toprak. Additionally, TrueCar.com, who has had some of the most accurate forecasting in the industry over the last several months, has upgraded its 2010 forecast to 12.0 million units up from 10.4 in 2009. TrueCar.com offers a comprehensive forecast that also goes deeper into the numbers, looking at unit sales and market share by manufacturer, but also shows market share by origin and sales down to the brand level.
