Some mega gains by the top three month-over-month sellers for September, 2012. The Rio up quadruple digits vs. last year. It should be noted that supplies were low in September, 2011 due to the new Rio arriving then. Ditto that with Veloster, as it had just been introduce. The Smart ForTwo, however, is a mystery, but it is putting up some big gains. That being said, several others had a good September. The Kia Soul is still the best-selling subcompact out there.The biggest loser, again, is Honda's CR-Z. However, after briefly talking to Honda's PR representative, apparently both CR-Z and Fit would be selling better, but they are simply not cranking out both models, since they're both made in Japan, and both have to struggle with the high dollar-to-yen ratio. It was odd to see the Nissan Versa in the bottom, too. However, year-to-date sales remain very strong. The slowest seller overall has been the ultra-niche MINI Cooper/S Convertible.
Onto the big board!
