Large Car Sales In America - July 2016 YTD

U.S. sales of full-size volume brand cars were hammered by the market's lack of interest in July 2016. With blame spread across virtually the whole fleet, sales plunged 21%, a decrease of more than 8000 sales compared with July 2015.

The Chevrolet Impala's 38% drop to 5045 units represented the Impala's second sub-6K sales performance in the last three months. General Motors averaged 9700 monthly Impala sales in 2015, 26,000 Impala sales per month in 2007.

* Hyundai USA, not GoodCarBadCar, chooses to combine sales figures for the Genesis sedan and Genesis Coupe, forcing us to include the Genesis with these volume-brand cars on pricing grounds before we even get to the "brand status" issue.
