Now let's take a look at the worst selling cars for 2011. AutoBlog compiled the list and excluded exotic cars and vehicles worth more than $100,000 - since they would skew the results.
Turns out the Acura RL was the worst selling vehicle of 2011. The Hyundai Azera finished 2nd worst, but with a redesign coming this year, we expect it won't make the list again in 2012.
