The Worst-Selling Cars in the US
March 14, 2013
As we know, sadly not every car is a winner. But that's actually good news for car buyers, because when demand for a vehicle is low, the likelihood of getting better deals is much higher.
The top 10 worst-selling cars in America right now include the Porsche Cayman (for the second time in a row), Lincoln MKZ, Mazda 2, Scion iQ, and Acura TSX.
Below is a look at the top 10 worst-sellers by volume for vehicles under $45,000. To see a full list and break-down by category, please visit GoodCarBadCar.net.
