Orange County Register

October sales figures are trickling in today, and among the big winners so far is Subaru.

The Japanese automaker known for its lineup of all-wheel-drive sedans, wagons and SUVs saw year-over-year sales rise a whopping 41 percent. Total sales in October were 18,169 vs. 12,917 in October of 2008, according to the Associated Press.

For year to date, sales are up 13 percent, with 176,590 vehicles sold.

Subaru’s top seller for October was the Outback, pictured above, which sold 6,451 units, more than double what it did in the year-ago period.

Last month, Motor Trend named the Outback as SUV of the year.

Sales results from Orange County dealers should be coming in soon. Stay tuned for local sales results.
