Top 20 Worst-Selling Vehicles In America - June 2016

It all depends how you quantify it. But we'll put it this way: the Chrysler 200 was the worst-selling car in America in June 2016.

Not only did the 200 post a percentage drop of 58%, because the 200 was formerly a high-volume car, this meant the 200 lost 10,743 sales for Chrysler dealers.

The Hyundai Accent, for the sake of perspective, fell 52%. But that 52% loss equalled a more palatable 3402 lost sales for the Hyundai brand. The Accent, of course, is a continuing model. The Chrysler 200 is likely to end production in early 2017, if not sooner.

The 200's chart-topping 58% year-over-year U.S. June sales decline stands out because we've added a third worst sellers format for June 2016. You can still see the 20 lowest-volume vehicles, regardless of their status. You can still see the 20 sharpest declines, as well. But now we have a separate class for the 20 worst-selling volume vehicles. We've established a 2500-unit marker.

In June, the first month of establishing this new 20 Worst Sellers format, nearly half of the vehicles are mainstream brand passenger cars from the subcompact, compact, and midsize market: Chrysler 200, Hyundai Accent, Dodge Dart, Ford Fiesta, Kia Optima, Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen Jetta, Hyundai Sonata, Mazda 6.

Top 20 Worst-Selling Vehicles In America - May 2016

Two family crossovers in the midst of replacement phases managed to squeeze themselves onto the list of America's 20 worst-selling new vehicles in May 2016. 

The list is dominated by discontinued and defunct models like the Nissan Xterra, Honda Crosstour, and Toyota FJ Cruiser. But the Cadillac SRX and Mazda CX-9 were contenders for worst-selling honours in May, as well.

The SRX's 69% drop to 1774 units doesn't tell the whole story. Its successor, the Cadillac XT5, is already on sale. Together, their sales were down 22% to 4493 units in May. Expect those declines to be dulled in the near future.

As for the Mazda CX-9, which is just beginning to trickle into U.S. showrooms in second-generation form, sales plunged 68% to 616 units. Already, the new CX-9 is making a difference north of the border. Canadian sales last month rose to the highest May level in the nameplate's history.

Top 20 Worst-Selling Vehicles In America - April 2016

The wait is almost over. 

Not that many have been waiting. With only a handful of Honda Ridgelines scattered across dealer forecourts in the United States, pickup truck sales took off as truck buyers continued to prove – just as they did when the Ridgeline was available – that they want their trucks to be, well, trucks.

But there was a time when Honda sold a fair number of Ridgelines. I think, let me check the calendar, yes... it was a Thursday. 

In 2006.

But now the Ridgeline is set to return in second-generation form. Media reps from numerous outlets are driving the new Honda pickup this week. It's more capable, more efficient, less unattractive, and appealing for reasons that don't pertain to brodozers, imaginary horse trailers, and V8 engines.

In the meantime, the Ridgeline ranks among a number of discontinued models, soon-to-be-replaced nameplates, and high-end machinery as one of America's lowest-volume, fastest-declining new vehicles in April 2016. But not for long.
