Top 20 Worst-Selling Vehicles In America – May 2015

A large chunk of America’s fastest-falling new vehicle nameplates in May 2015 are vehicles which are far from new and, in fact, are no longer on sale.

The four worst sellers – Captiva Sport, TSX, FJ Cruiser, LR2 – as well as seven other members of the top 20 are discontinued vehicles.

U.S. Vehicle Sales Rankings By Model – May 2015 YTD

Lumped in with them are vehicles which are, for the most part, either on hiatus (Ridgeline) or in the midst of cramped production (Grand Caravan, Town & Country), or awaiting soon-coming replacement (Maxima, TT).

In terms of the lowest-volume vehicles in America, aside from the discontinued vehicles, the majority are vehicles intended to be low-volume products: 918 Spyder, 4C, Viper, R8.
