Sales in November were on pace to top an annual rate of 15 million vehicles, which would mark the highest level since the 15.5 million rate of February 2008.

Ford Motor Co (F.N), Honda Motor Co (7267.T) and Nissan Motor Co (7201.T) posted better-than-expected sales, while Chrysler Group LLC, Toyota Motor Corp (7203.T) and Hyundai Motor Co (005380.KS) also reported strong increases that industry executives and investors said should continue through the end of the year.
