Default July's Fastest- and Slowest-Selling Cars

The fastest sellers, unsurprisingly, were also some of the strongest. Recent redesigns of the 2014 Acura MDX (July sales up 29.5%), 2014 Lexus IS (sales up 58.6%) and 2014 Subaru Forester (sales up 52.5%) joined the updated 2014 Honda Odyssey (sales up 10.9%) among July's fastest-selling cars.

Dies this data about the 2104 IS make any of these scenarios more/less likely?

- more/expanded options/colors on future models.
- no major changes since sales so strong.

Kind of a dumb list. Near every one of those "winners" is a 2014 so yeah folks are going to pick those up. Not to mention 2013 IS is the old body style and wound down so they're obviously going to get a sales increase from the 2014

The list isn't dumb -- it's data. It's all in the perception. Fact is with limited inventory in July -- IS crushed it much better than the naysayers predicted.

True that. A 2IS recall, if I recall.

I've only see two in the OC here in southern CA -- both were white -- one parked at the Tustin district and the other parked at Bella Terra.

I'm getting a lot of neck crooning on every ride ....

I love the new 2014 acura MDX headlights. It looks really sharp on the car.
