Fastest and Slowest Selling Models

The dog days of August took their toll on the movers and losers list, though only slightly.

The average number of days it took to sell a new car was 57.8, up from 56 in July.

That's far better than the 82 days it took in August 2009.

Honda's new CR-Z hybrid topped the Fastest Seller list, while the 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback took a whopping 207 days to sell, making it a good pick for consumers looking for deals on slow-selling models.

Take a look at the following lists to see which cars may be offering the best deals and which ones you'll want to avoid unless you don't mind paying a premium.
