June 2012 subcompact sales

Subcompact SalesQuite a bit of numbers in the green this month. The Fiat 500 was flexing its Italian-bred muscles this month with a sales increase of more than 122% vs. a year ago; year-to-date sales are up a staggering 319%. In a distant second is Nissan's Versa, still up an impressive 101.3%, and Kia's quick-selling Rio over +87.7%. It should be noted that Chevrolet's Sonic is quite popular: It's now the third best selling b-segment vehicle. Not bad for the new kid on the block.

Again, the big loser was Honda's CR-Z hybrid declining more than 50% vs. June '11, and is down 70% year to date.

In other sales news, the Smart ForTwo outsold the Scion iQ this month, but year-to-date sales still have the iQ in the lead.

Also, Suzuki, is only reporting that overall brand sales are up 1%, and that increase was led by the SX4, which was up 5%. No year-to-date info was given.
