Analysts expect another strong month of auto sales in November thanks to Black Friday deals.

Kelley Blue Book analysts estimate an increase of 2.2 percent in new-vehicle sales, while TrueCar projects an increase of 4.1 percent and Edmunds foresees a 1.6 percent increase in sales from November 2013.

General Motors is expected to see an increase in sales volume from all analysts. TrueCar projects the highest increase of sales of 6.1 percent. Kelley Blue Book analysts project an increase of 1.4 percent for GM and Edmunds estimates just a 0.6 percent increase.

Kelley Blue Book analysts break down projections for each segment and estimate an increase from last year for the compact car segment — the segment that includes the Lordstown-built Chevrolet Cruze.
