This may get some attention this morning. Concensus estimates were plus .3% .

Printed 0.7 percent.

EDIT: Comments from press (and I should have noted myself! sorry!):

"Sales gained 0.7% overall -- well above the consensus estimate of 0.3% in the Reuters poll -- but much of that gain came at the hand of a rebound in auto sales. Excluding auto sales, sales gained 0.3% -- below the expected 0.4% gain. "
