The Buick LaCrosse isn't the category's top seller, but it was the big winner in June as sales rose by a third to 5332 units. Small gains were also produced by the Kia Cadenza and Hyundai Genesis, the latter of which is displayed here not because it isn't a viable E-Class rival, but because Hyundai USA continues to combine the sedan and coupe sales figures. In other words, the Genesis's 3109 June 2014 sales includes cars priced from $26,350 to $55,700. The E-Class starts at $51,400... and rises.
That's not to say any of these fail to come across as rivals for the Lexus ES or Lincoln MKZ or the upcoming Acura TLX, or smaller cars like the Audi A4 or Mercedes-Benz C-Class. We've classified them here because of the nature of their overarching brands, regardless. Words like, "small" and "midsize" and "large" have as much to do with a product's positioning in the market as they do with actual dimensions. A Hyundai Azera is only two inches longer than a Hyundai Sonata, a Hyundai Elantra is only six inches longer than a Hyundai Accent. A Toyota Avalon is less than four inches longer than a Honda Accord
Chevrolet continues to lead the segment with 78,499 Impala sales in the first half of 2014. Combined, the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger were 2718 sales back of the Impala over the last six months.
