"The last few month of new cars sales have been strong relative to this year and this could be a December to remember as manufacturers are looking to end the year off on a strong note," said Jesse Toprak, VP of Industry Trends and Insights for TrueCar.com. "There will be plenty of deals as dealers are looking to hit their quotas, but consumers need to have researched and prepared before hitting the dealership lots."
