Large Car Sales In America - October 2014 YTD

In an improved passenger car market – sales rose 3% across the category – the large, volume-brand car category slid 8% in October 2014, brought down by the Chevrolet Impala, Dodge Charger, Hyundai Azera, Kia Cadenza, and the Ford Taurus most especially.

Civilian Taurus volume fell 40% to 3019 units. Impala volume was 3.5 times stronger. Ford also sold 756 Taurus Police Interceptors, though that figure represents a 24% decline. (Ford Explorer Police Interceptor sales jumped 20% to 2041 units in October.)

From the low end to the high end, October simply wasn't a great month for these big cars. Model year changeovers can impact the totals achieved by a car like the Dodge Charger, refreshed for MY2015, but sales slid 11%, the third month in the last five in which Charger volume has fallen. 

Meanwhile, the Chevrolet SS experienced its second-lowest full month total since arriving a year ago. Only September, when 111 were sold, was worse. GM dealers are sitting on a relative glut of SS inventory. There are nearly 600 in stock right now, according to Cars.com, and Automotive News says GM had a 195-day supply at the beginning of October 2014.

* 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.
