Top 10 Popular New Car Models
December 4, 2014
With so many different types of vehicles on the market today, it's hard to keep track of what's new or available. Chances are good there are vehicles out there that you've never heard of, or even seen on the road. So when a specific model begins to increase in sales, it usually means there's an updated version that is a hit with consumers. It's worth checking out these vehicles and putting them on your consideration list.
According to The Truth About Cars, the Chevrolet Corvette was the fastest growing model in 2014, seeing an almost 146% growth in sales during the first 10 months of 2014, compared to figures last year. Other brands that saw a large growth in sales compared to 2013 include the Lexus GX460 up about 109%, and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class up about 105%. Below is the full top 10 list.
If you are considering any of these models, I recommend you check out prices on TrueCar No Haggle and Edmunds Price Promise to see what kind of deals are being offered in your local area.
