Top 20 Worst Selling Vehicles In America November 2014
All posted November 2014 year-over-year U.S. sales declines of at least 40%, yet none of them ranked among the 20 worst-selling cars in America.
• U.S. Vehicle Sales Rankings By Model - November 2014 YTD
From the Cadillac XTS, Nissan Maxima, and Mini Paceman to defunct machines like the Acura TL and TSX, Chevrolet Captiva Sport, Volvo C70, and Chevrolet Avalanche, the 20 worst-selling vehicles in America all saw their sales chopped in half compared with November 2013. At least.
Weve also measured vehicles by outright volume, a list which inevitably includes some very low-volume sporting machines. But how low? The Dodge Viper didnt sell as often as the Audi R8, the Porsche 918 Spyder had its best month yet, and in its first month, Alfa Romeos 4C finished eight sales ahead of the Audi TT, which is awaiting replacement.

Vehicles which sold at least once in November 2013 but not at all in November 2014: Mitsubishi Galant, Mitsubishi Endeavor, Volkswagen Routan, and Volvo C30.
Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus, Rolls-Royce do not release monthly sales data. Bentley and Maserati do not report model-specific sales data. We dont exhibit commercial van nameplates on worst seller lists, but Chevrolet did sell its first 24 City Express vans last month, which would have made it eligible. Likewise, the Ford E-Series was down 59.1%, a poor enough result to make the first list, and the GMCs Savana 53.3% drop would have landed it in the top 20, as well.

Top 20 Worst Selling Vehicles In America July 2014
• All Makes & Models Ranked By U.S. July 2014 YTD Sales
The ZDX, TSX, and TL will all be killed off. The ZDX has been dying a slow death for months now, but dealers are slow to offload the undesirable crossover. As a result, sales of the TSX and TL have dwindled. Meanwhile, the Acura RLX (and its RL predecessor) have always been low-volume cars. In July 2014, the RLX recorded far lower U.S. sales than it did one year ago.
• Top 30 Best-Selling Vehicles In America - July 2014
Overall Acura passenger car sales slid 53% in July; the ILX was down 17% to 1235 units. At parent brand Honda, passenger car sales were level as the Accord, Americas second-best-selling car, jumped 11% and the Civic, Americas fourth-best-selling car, slid 7%.
The majority of these worst sellers are nameplates which have either been cancelled, placed on hiatus, or are approaching replacement. In no case is this more apparent than with Volkswagens Routan, a Dodge Grand Caravan copy that went off the production line two years ago.
Yet there are vehicles suffering from a severe case of DPS, Decreasing Popularity Syndrome, because theyre simply not competitive with their current pricing schemes. Case in point, the Dodge Viper.

Top 20 Worst Selling Vehicles In Canada January 2015
• Canada Vehicle Sales Rankings By Model - January 2015
Two Canadian-built FoMoCo crossovers ranked sixth and seventh among Canadas most rapidly declining vehicles in January 2015: the Lincoln MKT and its fraternal twin, the Ford Flex.
After selling like hotcakes when it was newly introduced in C7 form a little more than a year ago, the Chevrolet Corvette returned to ground level like the rear-wheel-drive car in winter that it is. Sales plunged 78%, year-over-year.
Among vehicles which generated any measure of sales activity in January, the Hyundai Equus and defunct Nissan Cube were the least popular. Granted, automakers like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, and Maserati dont report Canadian-specific monthly sales figures.
