  1. This is dependent on the manufacturer breaking out details, if they don't break it out, as in BMW 3-Series powered by diesel engines, I can't include it here. Toyota Prius - 140,928 Toyota Camry & Highlander - 48,119 Honda Insight - 20,962 Lexus GS450h, LS600h, & RX450h - 15,556 Lexus HS250 - 10,663 Honda Civic - 7,336 Honda CR-Z - 5,249 Chevy Volt - 326 Nissan LEAF - 19 Honda FCX Clarity - 17 Missing due to no breakouts: Ford Escape hybrid, Ford Fusion hybrid, Mercury Mariner hybrid, Mercury Milan hybrid, Nissan Altima hybrid, VW Golf diesel, VW Jetta diesel, VW Touareg diesel, Mazda Tribute, BMW 3-Series diesel, Hyundai Sonata hybrid, and break outs for each Toyota & Lexus model.
  2. Full-size pickup trucks Ford F-Series - 528,349 Chevy Silverado - 370,135 Dodge Ram - 199,652 GMC Sierra - 129,794 Toyota Tundra - 93,309 Nissan Titan - 23,416 Chevy Avalance - 20,515 Cadillac Escalade EXT - 2,082 Less than full-size pickup trucks Toyota Tacoma - 106,198 Ford Ranger - 55,364 Nissan Frontier - 40,427 Chevy Colorado - 24,642 Honda Ridgeline - 16,142 Dodge Dakota - 13,047 GMC Canyon - 7,992 Suzuki Equator - 1,447 (A Frontier by any other name is clearly not as sweet.) Fullsize SUVs Chevy Tahoe - 75,675 GMC Yukon - 52,578 (Inc. XL sales) Chevy Suburban - 45,152 Ford Expedition - 37,336 GMC Yukon - 52,578 Cadillac Escalade - 24,792 (Inc. ESV sales) Nissan Armada - 19,334 Toyota Sequoia - 13,848 Kia Borrego - 9,835 Lincoln Navigator - 8,245 Lexus LX - 3,983 Toyota Land Cruiser - 1,807
  3. Large sedans - "premium" sedans that sit above the bread-and-butter volume midsizer in the lineup. Chevy Impala - 172,078 Dodge Charger - 75,397 Ford Taurus - 68,859 Buick LaCrosse - 61,178 Nissan Maxima - 60,569 Chrysler 300 - 37,116 Ford Crown Victoria - 33,722 Toyota Avalon - 28,390 Mercury Grand Marquis - 28,543 Hyundai Azera - 3,051 Kia Amanti - 281 Subluxury sedans - that slightly odd gathering of cars in the $30-45K arena...there's some crossover to the vehicles above. BMW 3-Series - 100,910 (Inc. all bodystyles) Buick LaCrosse - 61,178 Mercedes-Benz C-Class - 58,785 Infiniti G - 58,143 (Inc. Coupe & Sedan) Lexus ES - 48,652 Cadillac CTS - 45,656 Chrysler 300 - 37,116 Lexus IS - 34,129 Acura TL - 34,049 Acura TSX - 32,076 (Inc. 126 TSX Wagons) Hyundai Genesis - 29,122 (Inc. Coupe & Sedan) VW CC - 27,987 Buick Lucerne - 26,459 Lincoln MKZ - 22,535 BMW 1-Series - 13,132 Hyundai Azera - 3,051 Kia Amanti - 281
  4. Compact crossovers Honda CR-V - 203,714 Ford Escape - 191,026 Toyota RAV4 - 170,877 Chevy Equinox - 149,979 Nissan Rogue - 99,515 Subaru Forester - 85,080 GMC Terrain - 60,519 Jeep Liberty - 49,564 Dodge Caliber - 45,082 Hyundai Tucson - 39,594 jeep Patriot - 38,620 Mercury Mariner - 29,912 Mazda CX-7 - 28,788 Kia Sportage - 23,873 VW Tiguan - 20,946 Jeep Compass - 15,894 Honda Element - 14,247 Nissan Juke - 8,639 Mazda Tribute - 3,637 For years there's been a mantra in the business about building crossovers to increase sales. I think these sales prove that you have to do more than just build it - it had better be a good vehicle too. Tucson, Patriot, CX-7, Sportage, Tiguan...they aren't really selling in any significant volume. Midsize & Fullsize crossovers Ford Edge - 118,637 Kia Sorento - 108,985 Chevy Traverse - 106,744 Honda Pilot - 102,323 Subaru Outback - 93,148 Toyota Highlander - 92,121 Hyundai Santa Fe - 76,680 GMC Acadia - 68,295 Buick Enclave - 55,426 Nissan Murano - 53,999 Dodge Journey - 48,577 Toyota Venza - 47,321 Ford Flex - 34,227 Mazda CX-9 - 28,908 Hyundai Veracruz - 8,741 VW Touareg - 4,713 Subaru Tribeca - 2,472 Again, same here as the compact crossovers - just because you build it doesn't mean people will buy it. Sales have really fallen for the Murano, I'm guessing that the Edge is seen as a better 2-row stylish midsize CUV. But GM is churning out more than 200K Lambda crossovers, so, if you make a good vehicle, people might recognize it. EDITED to add Subaru Forester & Outback.
  5. B-class cars full-year sales Nissan Versa - 99,705 Honda Fit - 54,354 Hyundai Accent - 51,975 Chevy Aveo - 48,623 Toyota Yaris - 40,076 Kia Rio - 24,619 Ford Fiesta - 23,273 Mazda2 - 3,021 C-class cars full-year sales Toyota Corolla - 266,082 (includes Matrix) Honda Civic - 260,218 (Includes Hybrid) Ford Focus - 172,421 Hyundai Elantra - 132,246 VW Jetta - 123,213 (Inc. SportWagen 25,765) Chevy Cruze + Cobalt - 121,871 Mazda3 - 106,353 Chevy Cobalt - 97,376 Nissan Sentra - 94,065 Chevy HHR - 75,401 Kia Forte - 68,500 Kia Soul - 67,110 Dodge Caliber - 45,082 Subaru Impreza - 44,395 VW Golf/Rabbit/R32/GTI - 28,286 Chevy Cruze - 24,495 Nissan Cube - 22,968 Scion xB - 20,364 VW New Beetle - 16,537 Scion tC - 15,204 Suzuki SX4 - 11,606 Scion xD - 10,110 Combined B/C volume by manufacturer Toyota - 363,442 Hyundai/Kia - 344,450 Honda - 314,572 GM - 245,895 Nissan - 216,738 Ford - 195,694 VW - 168,036 Mazda - 109,374 Chrysler - 45,082 Subaru - 44,395 Suzuki - 11,606 Once you include the "extra" cars (the Matrix, Cube, HHR, Soul, etc.) there are a lot of options in the small class. It will be interesting if the newly released B-class cars start to take off next year. EDITED to add the Cube, HHR, & New Beetle.
  6. Full-year sales results in the midsize sedan category... Toyota Camry - 327,804 Honda Accord - 311,381 Nissan Altima - 229,263 Ford Fusion - 219,219 Chevy Malibu - 198,770 Hyundai Sonata - 196,623 Subaru Outback + Legacy - 131,863 Subaru Outback - 93,148 Dodge Avenger - 50,923 VW CC + Passat - 40,484 Subaru Legacy - 38,725 Chrysler Sebring/200 - 38,585 Mazda6 - 35,662 (when the old "slow-selling, undersized" 6 was around, it was clipping along at 60-80K/year.) Mercury Milan - 28,912 VW CC - 27,987 Kia Optima - 27,382 VW Passat - 12,497 (Inc 2,329 wagons) Buick Regal - 12,326 Suzuki Kizashi - 6,138 By manufacturer Toyota - 327,804 Honda - 311,381 Ford - 248,131 Nissan - 229,263 Hyundai/Kia - 224,005 GM - 211,096 Subaru - 131,863 Chrysler - 89,508 VW - 40,484 Mazda - 35,662 Suzuki - 6,138 Interesting There's the 300K manufacturers...Toyota & Honda Then the 200K makers...Ford, Nissan, Hyundai, & GM Then the 100K makers...Subaru & Chrysler And the rest.
  7. And top billing over at gminsidenews.com too? Wow. Not bad for an MCE. I will say, the black Sport photographed by autoblog.com is amazingly sharp. That's a stunningly good looking 2 ton family hauler - 22" wheels, black-out grille and all. Nice on the inclusion of communication & entertainment integration - well done Ford. Seriously, how crowded are Ford dealers going to be this year? In just about every segment there is at least a class-competitive vehicle, if not a class-leading vehicle. Crowded dealers and limited supply? A good problem to have!
  8. I'll only add that it's not surprising - I can't recall the last time i saw a Focus Coupe. Just sedans. If you're going to give up the practicality of a sedan for a coupe you want something special - performance or style, neither of which are high on the Focus's list of attributes. Is the Coupe coming back for the next Focus, or is it just hatches?
  9. When's the last time CAP was running at capacity? Since the D3s went online in 2004, I doubt CAP has run at more than 75% cap. In fact, with the Taurus being the only model at CAP right now, how much capacity is there? The Taurus will sell around 75K units this year, probably (6-7K/month) - so that's gotta be a ton of capacity going to waste currently. I'll be interested to see how all of the elements are carried out in the final product ("floating roof", bold c-pillar, land rover-esque dome hood, ford 3-bar grille, etc.) There's a lot going on, and I hope it's a bit better intergrated than all of the exterior elements of the Taurus. The Taurus isn't ugly in my book, it's just "busy", but I hope the Explorer is bit better.
  10. Agree. Some people want to look like they're driving a truck, even if it is just a Mazda 626 on stilts. And in the compact CUV market, it's the Escape or nothing. I hope they don't mess that up. I think an Escape that apes some of the cues from the upcoming Explorer might work well. I'm surprised an auto analyst has never raised that issue, or, heck, even why Ford doesn't mention that in their monthly sales release. If there's a reason the Escape is outselling arguably "better" small CUVs, then maybe you should mention it? None of this is that the Kuga would not do well, but it wouldn't capture a part of the Escape's clientele. And also, Ford would be foolish to go with "Kuga" over "Escape". The Escape is one of Ford's volume vehicles (F-Series, Fusion, Focus, & Escape) and to throw that all away for globabl synergy, well, that'd be like calling the Taurus a "Five Hundred" or something!
  11. Interesting idea, but I think the situations between Toyota & Ford were different. Toyota had very little appeal to youth audiences, probably a result of making boring, undesirable cars like the Camry and Corolla. I'd say, not too unlike Ford making the 96-06 Taurus and 97-02 Escort. Ford decided (eventually) to make desirable cars as the core products - as seen in the Fiesta, 2012 Focus, Fusion, and heck, even the Taurus SHO. Toyota, on the other hand, decided that they didn't want to risk alienating their existing Corolla & Camry customers by making better, more "youthful" cars, instead they decided to introduce a new "youth" brand with "youth" vehicles and "youth" marketing. So, Toyota decided the best method was to talk solely to the youth market with bespoke vehicles and images. Ford, instead, has decided to make one set of vehicles for all customers, and integrate "youth marketing" into the marketing plan for the same cars. What's better? I don't know if there is an answer, but I think it's pretty clear that Scion has lost its way while Ford is coming off of its largely successful Fiesta Movement.
  12. Yup, the "global sourcing point" for all C-MAXes will be Spain. http://www.kbb.com/car-news/all-the-latest/ford-confirms-us-2012-grand-c_max-will-be-built-in-spain Is the long-term plan for Transit Connect to be imported to N.A. from Turkey? If yes, what C-Chassis vehicles will be produced in N.A.? Just the Focus Sedan/Hatch and Escape/Kuga?
  13. Yes, the number for cars generally include all bodystyles (Honda is nice enough to breakout the CrossTour, but not the coupe/sedan - I kinda mislabeled it by calling it "sedan only"...but I bet the interior volume of the Accord Coupe is such that technically it is a "2-door sedan." But that's really splitting hairs at that point.) It doesn't really bother me though, because some of those coupe purchases are dillutive, they would have bought a sedan if it hadn't of been for a coupe model. Also, some cars are reported together and are relatively similar - like the Corolla/Matrix. Mitsubishi is still selling cars - I'm not sure to whom...beyond Enterprise and Avis. But Mitsubishi doesn't issue a full model-by-model breakdown of monthly sales. Generally they may include the numbers of one or two lines and I try to add it in, but usually they aren't as transparent and give only total monthly sales (full line) and percentage increases in models that they want to talk about. Remember when the 1999 Galant dropped followed by the 2000 Eclipse and Mitsubishi was on its way to becoming the next Honda? Crazy.
  14. Sorry all, the error stated above isn't an error in GM's math - it's in my ability to use a calculator. Corrected above. Nice that Ford outsold ALL GM fullsizers combined.
  15. Compact & Midsize trucks Tacoma - 8,630 Ranger - 6,651 Frontier - 3,739 Colorado - 2,535 Ridgeline - 1,853 Dakota - 1,610 Canyon - 639 Equator - 136 Fullsize trucks F-Series - 49,858 Total GM pickups - 47,040 Silverado - 33,690 Ram - 17,298 Sierra - 11,305 Tundra - 8,491 Titan - 2,063 Avalanche - 1,909 Escalade EXT - 136 Edited to correct the total number of GM fullsize trucks sold.

  17.

Charger - 9,625 Taurus - 6,466 Maxima - 6,349 LaCrosse - 5,452 300 - 3,507 Avalon - 3,029 Azera - 218 Amanti - 44 Combined manufacturer sales GM - 47,947 ... Toyota - 32,324 ... Ford - 31,529 ...

  19. I will now perform more "analysis" than the writer of the TTAC post did: No. Thank you everyone. I can now be published on the internets as a journalist apparently.
  20. I find it interesting to cut it this way: Toyota Yaris + Corolla = 34,000 Honda Fit + Civic = 27,000 Nissan Versa + Sentra = 22,500 That puts Toyota, Honda, & Nissan in #1, #2, & #3 spots in the B- & C-segments as a whole - just like in midsizers (Camry, Accord, & Altima.) The difference is the Versa /B/ does the heavy lifting for Nissan whereas the Corolla /C/ & Civic /C/ do it for Toyota & Honda. A trip to Wikipedia finds that the Tiida/Versa is related to the Twingo/Clio/Modus, not the Megane.
  21. Compact RAV4 - 25,781 Escape - 19,182 CR-V - 14,848 Equinox - 12,805 Forester - 8,467 Rogue - 8,395 Terrain - 4,885 Compass/Patriot - 4,456 Tucson - 3,084 CX-7 - 2,607 Mariner - 2,482 Tiguan - 1,751 Sportage - 1,414 Tribute - 328 Grand Vitara - 396 Great month for Escape - AMAZING month for RAV4 ($199/mo w/$0 down will do that.) Midsize to Large Highlander - 11,953 Pilot - 10,432 Edge - 10,254 Santa Fe - 9,548 Sorento - 9,156 Traverse - 8,633 Acadia - 6,824 Murano - 5,490 Journey - 4,642 Enclave - 4,519 Flex - 3,468 CX-9 - 2,968 Veracruz - 607 Touareg - 449 Tribeca - 243 It's nice to see some serious sales come back to the midsize and larger crossover market. Good month for the Edge at 10K, 10K for the Pilot is awesome, and over 11K for the Highlander is nice too. Will the Explorer (which outsold the Flex this month) be able to really shake-up this market with a large, 3-row crossover?
  22. B-Class (soon to include Fiesta & Mazda2) Versa - 13,811 Yaris - 4,699 Fit - 4,670 Accent - 4,233 Aveo - 3,979 Rio - 2,231 C-Class Corolla - 29,623 Civic - 22,463 Focus - 19,500 Golf/GTi/Jetta - 12,131 Mazda3 - 11,353 Cobalt - 10,316 Sentra - 8,721 Elantra - 8,225 Forte - 4,830 Impreza - 3,969 Caliber - 2,932 SX4 - 1,245 tC - 1,118 Boxy Cars HHR - 6,167 Soul - 5,106 Cube - 4,218 xB - 1,630 Mazda5 - 1,615 Element - 1,246 Rondo - 932 PT Cruiser - 798 xD - 763
  23. Midsize Camry - 36,251 Accord - 29,120 Altima - 24,649 Fusion - 22,773 Sonata - 18,935 Malibu - 17,750 Legacy/Outback - 11,106 Milan - 3,897 Sebring - 3,783 Passat/CC - 3,702 Optima - 3,633 Mazda6 - 3,587 Avenger - 3,093 Kizashi - 397 There are the big sellers (Camry, Accord, Altima, Fusion, Sonata, & Malibu), the Subaru in the middle, and then a bunch of fringe players (Milan, Sebring, Passat/CC, Optima, Mazda6, & Avenger.) And then there's Kizashi...and the unreported Galant. Strong showing for all of the "big sellers" this past month. Fullsize Impala - 15,594 Taurus - 7,001 Maxima - 6,622 Charger - 6,220 LaCrosse - 6,054 300 - 3,798 Avalon - 3,124 Azera - 225 Amanti - 31 A strong month for Taurus leading the pack for big sedan (excepting the fleet heavy Impala, of course.)
  24. Detroit Muscle Chevy Camaro - 6,482 Ford Mustang - 5,115 Dodge Challenger - 2,145 The Camaro took the top spot again, but with a 30mpg & 400hp Mustangs on the way, will it last? non-Detroit cars Hyundai Genesis - 1,762 (Sedan & Coupe, no breakout given) VW GTi - 1,278 Nissan 370Z - 699 Mazda RX-8 - 77 There aren't a ton of sporty coupes for sale, and those that are, aren't selling! Probably not cars for recession, I guess. Trucks Ford F-Series - 32,895 Chevy Silverado - 20,851 (includes Avalanche) GMC Sierra - 6,296 Dodge Ram - 10,267 Toyota Tundra - 5,468 Nissan Titan - 1,721 No surprises, except that the F-Series outsold the Silverado & Sierra combined. And even though Nissan is "commited" to developing a new Titan, with those sales I don't know why they'd bother.
  25. B-Segment Nissan Versa - 11,609 Hyundai Accent - 5,308 Toyota Yaris - 4,138 Honda Fit - 2,925 Chevy Aveo - 2,062 Kia Rio - 1,949 The Fit fell flat on its face - I'm thinking there was a supply issue or something. Also interesting, the Versa is the only car on the list to outsell its "big brother" (in this case, the Sentra.) The Sentra is not a great car, and the Versa, while not great, does everything the Sentra does, just about as well, for less money and with more interior room. Interesting formula for success in this category. But to grow this category, the Fiesta, new Aveo, new Accent, & Fiat 500 are going to have to make an appeal that these cars just don't capture. I'm not sure what that appeal will be, but hopefully it'll work: this category will need to triple in size (at least) to make the new cars viable. Boxy Utility Cars Chevy HHR - 4,658 Kia Soul - 3,600 Nissan Cube - 2,814 Mazda5 - 1,975 Scion xB - 1,539 Honda Element - 919 Scion xD - 628 Chrylser PT Cruiser - 627 The PT Cruiser was saved from the grave (again) - but why? Not for 600 units a month. Scion is basically dead with that kind of volume. The Element needs a refresh. The Mazda5 is on track for another 20K year. The Soul & Cube are doing "okay." And the HHR gets no respect, but it's in a class of its own as far as volume goes! C-Segment Toyota Corolla - 16,996 Honda Civic - 16,471 Chevy Cobalt - 14,101 Ford Focus - 13,708 VW Golf/ Jetta - 9,915 (includes Rabbit, GTi, SportWagen, R32) Mazda3 - 8,215 Hyundai Elantra - 7,966 Nissan Sentra - 7,769 Kia Forte - 4,333 Subaru Impreza - 2,804 Dodge Caliber - 2,263 Suzuki SX4 - 759 Kia Spectra - 55 (out-of-production, replaced by Forte) Another Corolla triumph. The Civic is close, but still behind. For all the good press the Forte has gotten I expected better sales. The Mazda3 is running pretty low in volume - maybe the bizarro face is turning people away? The Focus is still doing decently considering the new Fiesta & Focus are around the corner. Same for the Cobalt considering the Cruze is waiting to launch later this year. What happened to the Caliber? Besides getting hit with the ugly stick in & out, getting poor mileage from awful engines, and having a terrible chassis, I mean. And the Golf/Jetta is surprisingly strong - it'd be interesting to see a gas/TDI breakdown.
