December 2012 Top 10 Worst-Selling Vehicles In America

2013 Kia Sportage Red

The list of America’s ten worst-selling vehicles in 2012 is ready to go, so we won’t spend much time breaking down December’s group. 

Let it not go without mentioning that Porsche dealers are anxiously awaiting the new Cayman. Ha, what am I saying, all they care about is the Cayenne. Kia dealers would probably like to see a new Sportage pricing strategy, one that doesn’t line it up directly against the larger Sorento. Honda dealers surely want a more powerful CR-Z, but would that be enough to turn the hybrid’s fortunes around? Mazda’s new 6 looks like it should be a stronger seller next year, but we’ve all thought that before.
