Forty-one economists polled by Reuters expect October's seasonally adjusted annualized rate to be around 13.2 million vehicles, up about 9 percent from the year earlier. In September, the sales rate was 13.1 million. Analysts said October's likely stronger sales were also driven by the greater availability of vehicles made by Honda Motor Co. and Toyota Motor Co. , after the industry recovered from Japan's March earthquake which triggered a shortage of auto parts.
