The Chevrolet Impala led all contenders with 9225 sales, and the Impala's 20% drop did not hinder Chevrolet car sales from rising 10% as the Corvette, Cruze, Malibu, and Sonic produced significant year-over-year increases. Chevrolet's SS fell to its lowest full month total. The SS has been on the market since November of last year. 

Ford and Chrysler sold an equal number of Taurus sedans and 300s. Dodge Charger sales slid 1%. Combined sales of the Charger and 300 totalled 13,381 units. General Motors sold 12,851 Impalas and Buick LaCrosses. 

Hyundai's Azera joined with the better-selling Kia Cadenza for 1867 sales. Azera sales have been tumbling all year and fell 49% in September. Cadenza volume was up 19% last month.

* Hyundai USA, not GoodCarBadCar, chooses to combine sales figures for the Genesis sedan and Genesis Coupe, forcing us to include the Genesis with these volume-brand cars on pricing grounds before we even get to the "brand status" issue.
