The proliferation of the new Sonata reminds me a lot of when the 2002 Altima first came out. All of a sudden, it became the car to have if you refused to drive a Camcord.

At least it looks like its a far higher quality car than that original Altima was.

If you lived in this area you'd be surprised it's not in the top 10.

Notes:

*Malibu outselling Fusion
*Sonata selling over 20k units (wow)
*Huge gain from Honda CR-V. Outsold Escape by 5000 units this month.

*Malibu outselling Fusion

I noticed that too. The Malibu is nice, but it seemed to me that the Fusion is better. Maybe the old rebates/fleet sales ploy?

1) Possibly due to fleet sales?
2) Good for Hyundai, even though the Sonata still sinfully ugly.
3) I wonder if Tribute sales are counted with the Escape.

They never combine cars from different brands.

I thought, at one point, the Matrix/Vibe clones were being counted together.

Corolla and Matrix, not Matrix and Vibe.

Corolla and Matrix, not Matrix and Vibe.

yes, and that is/was true about the inclusion.

Ah, that's right.
