Cars
Depending how you measure things, the Porsche Boxster, electric Mitsubishi i, and Lexus LFA supercar were the worst-selling cars in America in April 2012. The LFA, of course, is unfairly labelled, as other manufacturers of cars priced in the $200K+ stratosphere don't regularly report model-by-model sales figures.
The Honda CR-Z continues its struggles. Hyundai sold very nearly ten times more Velosters in April than Honda sold CR-Zs. Volkswagen CC sales fell for the third consecutive month and the fifth time in six months. Sales of the regular Passat shot up 5725% during the same time period. In the second table, which lists mainstream cars by poor volume, three Suzukis make appearances.
There'll be more info on all these models when GoodCarBadCar's segment breakdowns begin later today. Use the dropdown menu at the top right of this page to find monthly and yearly sales figures for every vehicle currently on sale in North America.
