Top 20 Worst-Selling Vehicles In America - May 2015


2015 BMW X3 white
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.

You can always select a make and model at GCBC's Sales Stats page to find historical monthly and yearly sales figures from both Canada and the United States. Pertinent links are clickable at the bottom of this post, but you can also find related links at the Best Sellers page.
