U.S. Vehicle Sales Rankings By Model - October 2016 YTD

Among the 20 fastest-declining vehicles that generate more than 2500 sales per month — and the midsize Chrysler won't be doing so for long — there were 15 passenger cars. Car volume across the industry was down 16% in October as the industry slid 6%. Joining the 200 at the top (bottom?) of the heap were the Acura TLX, BMW 3-Series, Chevrolet Impala, and Ford Mustang.

Only 37% of the U.S. auto industry's new vehicle sales volume was produced by passenger cars last month, compared with 40% through the first ten months of 2016.
