April's Fastest- and Slowest-Selling Cars - Cars.com News

Eighteen of the 23 fastest-selling cars in April were SUVs or pickups, but most surprising was the vehicle that took the top spot. Wagons have mostly disappeared from the automotive landscape thanks to the popularity of SUVs during the past 25 years, but Volkswagen's new Golf SportWagen was in demand, selling in just nine days. Subaru's Outback wagon, which is more of a crossover these days, also sold quickly at 12 days. Both wagons far outpace the average of 53 days to sell a new car. While that average is up from last month's 50 days it is down versus last April when it took 56 days. Five of the 10 slowest-selling cars were the largest convertibles and sedans the brand sells. Kia also continues to see its flagship sedan, the K900, struggle despite massive exposure during the NBA playoffs as Kia spokesman LeBron James takes the Cleveland Cavaliers to the second round. It took 172 days to sell a new Kia K900, or nearly six months.
