Kudos to Subaru and Lexus with so many models, and Cadillac XT4

a truly ridiculous list. depends on supply too not just demand.

the gs flies off the lot? they sold less than 300 last month. supply must be seriously crimped and the less than 300 people buy the few that are on dealer lots.

Can I just say kudos to this publication for not making the list a slideshow?

Had to stop halfway into it, was so bad. Wrong model years shown and totally missed the point about the low production Bit mentioned above. Definitely not car people there, nor professional, and a disservice to the public.

I know. I hate the slideshows.

It’s good information. In contrast to CR for example, here is a case where there is some data to actually interpret. Some cars have too little supply, in this case it appears Toyota has offered the right amount.

Can we please do a reality check. 49.6 days on the lot is "flying?" lol Reminds me when people say San Francisco is "way more" expensive to live in compared to NYC, the index is 309 vs. 209, with LA being now surprisingly 191 (did you know that everything except housing, in NYC, is considerably more than San Francisco?). What a misuse of numbers, but remember, man wants one number with which to judge "goodness." The megapixel conundrum as it's often called.

Hey Tacoma, love your cost cutting drum brakes!

haha glad someone else doesn't simply accept the list as the gospel. It truly is ridiculous that we as humans seem to be more and more falling for this c***! What is even funnier is the people who base buying decisions on a list they find on the web. That Subaru is truly ugly, I've seen at least 15 on the road, as are most Subarus.

Why are you throwing shade on CR in a thread about sales numbers? Sales numbers are purely and solely data, which is not the same at all for car reviews. When CR becomes a report on car sales, I'm sure they'll publish all the raw data you are looking for.

Not sure what the index is you are referring to, but 309 is a 48% increase over 209, so it think that qualifies as "way more".

looking forward to seeing numbers for the xt4, although gm now only publishes quarterly.

I also post some doubt to this - while they may have a reliable source, it doesn't make sense. The LS has recently struggled to move units; of course the supply is much lower compared to a Tacoma but I'd venture to say the LS sits on the lot a lot longer than what this article shows ~49 days
