Chart Of The Day: Midsized Sedans In October And Year To Date

The import empire struck back last month, as Honda and Hyundai jumped in segment sales and Chevy’s Malibu got battered down towards the bottom of our monthly chart. Four of the top five midsized sellers in October were import nameplates, although the two biggest year-over-year growers were Chrysler’s 200 and Kia’s Optima. Meanwhile, VW’s Chattanooga-built Passat is still rolling out, but still managed to post 5,000 units in its first month. Year-to-date rankings remain unchanged from last month, although Accord could easily squeeze past Fusion to snag third place by year’s end.

The most amazing thing about this graph is that over 10,000 Mitsubishi Galants have been sold. Remember them? Whenever I get nostalgic for the turn of the century I go rent one from Budget; Avis appears to have exorcised them to their low-rent cousin.
Finally, Honda got some inventory to sell. 200 beat Malibu? That is sad on so many counts.
New Camry numbers are punished by inventory shortage? or it isn´t selling as it should? It´s a full model change vehicle, at competitive price, against aged models.
Thanks tekdemon, instead corollas are doing well, and still have a 2007 generation with a MMC.
