The Fastest Selling Cars In America

You might not realize this, but that brand new car you bought probably was sitting on the dealer's lot for 2 whole months.

That's how long, on average, cars sit around waiting for a new home. If cars were as cute as puppies or kittens, dealers could sell cars by making a super emotional video with some Sara McLachlan music played over top, guilting you into coming to adopt a needy vehicle.

But dealers can't keep the great car models on the lot for very long. The car could be a brand new vehicle that people are scrambling to buy, or a popular car in high demand, or a car that's purposefully kept in low supply because it's meant to be "exclusive."

We asked the folks at Edmunds to pull data on which cars are flying off dealers lots faster than the others. It's a good mix of cars, and some of the choices might surprise you.

5. Subaru BRZ (tie)

Days To Turn:12

MSRP: $25,495 - $27,495
Invoice: $24,327 - $26,112
Fuel Economy: 22 mpg City, 30 mpg Highway

The Subaru BRZ is a hot new affordable sports car that the automaker built in partnership with Toyota, which is selling a separate version of this car as the Scion FR-S.

Check out the picture. This is a pretty nice looking sports car for a starting price of $25,500. The sleek exterior is matched by an attractive straightforward interior. If you have the moxie, order up the six-speed manual. Our reviewers prefer it to some sports cars costing $20K more. No wonder buyers are scooping them up.

 

1. Subaru XV Crosstrek

Days To Turn: 7

MSRP: $21,995 - $24,495
Invoice: $20,876 - $23,178
Fuel Economy: 23 mpg City, 30 mpg Highway

If this car looks familiar, it's because it is really an Impreza hatchback that has been tweaked and bulked up a little. The dressing on this Impreza makes it a bit more sporty and interesting than the standard car.

Subaru is on a roll. It jacked up sales all through the recessionary years we have had since Wall Street and mortgage bankers conspired to kill all of our 401Ks the last three years.

It's flying off Subaru dealer lots because it's a brand new, fun-looking and fun-driving model offered by a hot brand.
