I also think last month's sales may have taken a dip because of the model year change-over as well. I run forums for the GM Lambda crossovers and have tracked sales for them for over 3 years now and each year around the time of the model year switch, there's a dip in sales. I assume it's because buyers start deciding to hold off on purchasing a 2010 when they know the 2011s will be out within a month. A VERY small percentage of regular car buyers custom order cars. They just visit the dealership and buy the one on the lot that comes closest to matching their color and option preferences. Those are the buyers that hold off purchasing a 2010 on the lot when they read or hear that the 2011s are just around the corner... and they happen to make up the bulk of all purchases.
