MIDSIZE CAR SALES AND MIDSIZE LUXURY CAR SALES IN AMERICA - JULY 2010

By The Good Car Guy     at 8/12/2010 10:48:00 AM
Imagine, for a second, a really crazy scenario. Mercedes-Benz isn't a luxury car automaker, but a mainstream competitor for Honda, Toyota, and Chevrolet. The E-Class squares up against the Accord, Camry, and 2011 Hyundai Sonata. Though in reality you see the Mercedes-Benz E-Class in the lower Graph as the best-selling midsize luxury car in America for July 2010, its sales figures would compare very unfavourably were the E to be found toiling against the Ford Fusion and Nissan Altima. 

In fact, the purpose of sharing these two Graphs together for a change was to show the disparity between the Sales Stats of high-priced, low-volume automobiles and low-priced, high-volume cars. America's favourite midsize luxury car would only rank ninth among mainstream midsize Graph.

  2. Wow, 39k for the Camry and next up is 25k. Ive never seen a Venza on the road before so Im guessing about 38k of those were Camry's.

  3. @Matthew S, Venza sales were 4024 in the USA in July. In Canada in June, the Venza was more popular than the Camry and was only behind by about 1600 through the first half of the year. Americans don't share the fondness for hatches and wagons.
