Luxury-car brands such as Honda Motor Co. (7267)’s Acura and Daimler AG’s Mercedes-Benz will take a disproportionate hit from Hurricane Sandy, with as much as 25% of U.S. sales coming from cities in the storm’s path.
“The last week of the month is typically a big week in terms of new vehicle sales,”Larry Dixon, senior analyst for the National Automobile Dealers Association, based in McLean, Virginia. “Everyone’s trying to finish off the month on a high note. We might see October sales down just a bit from what everybody had anticipated.”
The New York, Washington and Philadelphia markets account for a quarter of Acura’s U.S. sales, 24% of Mercedes- Benz’s and 23% for Bayerische Motoren Werke AG and Volvo Cars, according to auto researcher Edmunds.com.
States affected by the hurricane, the biggest-ever Atlantic Ocean tropical storm, are home to 4,751 dealerships selling new cars, according to data compiled by the auto dealers’ group. Dealers increase sales at the end of the month and automakers report sales monthly at the beginning of the following month.
Those dealers may lose the last 3 days of October sales as Sandy pummels the Eastern seaboard, keeping prospective car buyers home.
Honda, Toyota
Honda is the most popular brand in New York, and in Washington it’s Toyota Motor Corp. (7203), according to Edmunds.
October is usually 1 of the slowest months for auto sales, with seasonally-adjusted sales about 1% lower than in September, Dixon said.
Sales of cars and light trucks in October may accelerate to a 14.8 million annualized rate, taking into account seasonal adjustments, according to the average estimate of 13 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg this week and last week. The pace was 13.3 million a year earlier and 14.9 million in September, according to researcher Autodata Corp.
September’s sales rate was the best since March 2008, before a global credit crisis.

American Honda's January sales increased 13%, as strong gains for the redesigned Accord sedan and Acura RDX crossover countered sluggish demand for much of the lineup.
Accord sales soared 75% over January 2012 levels, leading the namesake division to a 13% increase. The only other big-volume Honda vehicle to see a sales bump was the Pilot crossover, up 16 percent.
Sales of the Civic, which was dramatically freshened in November, were flat. Civic sales were split evenly between leftover 2012s and the '13 edition. A Honda spokeswoman said about 8,000 of the 2012 models are still on dealer lots and should be sold out by the end of February.
Honda continues to pare imports of made-in-Japan vehicles such as the Fit, Insight and CR-Z. As a result, sales are slowing to a trickle.
"The all-new Accord has the Honda brand right where we left off in 2012 -- powering significant sales gains in the new year,"John Mendel, American Honda executive vice president, said in a statement. "With our strongest vehicle lineup ever and continued sales momentum, we're optimistic 2013 will be a great year for the Honda brand."
Honda Division sales rose 24% last year in a market that gained 13%.
On the Acura side, the redesigned RDX compact crossover was the brand's 1-trick pony. Sales nearly tripled, spurring the division's 13% advance.
The rest of the lineup saw year-over-year declines. Not counting the RDX's gains, the brand declined 7%. The entry-luxury ILX sedan once again barely outsold the more-expensive TSX it is designed to replace.

Reflecting Honda's unique focus on retail sales, and real demand for top-rated products such as Accord, the Honda brand posted February 2013 sales of 96,623 units, a decrease of 2.3 percent compared with February 2012 (an increase of 1.8 percent based on the DSR).
