Hot company.

I bet TSX will be even higher for December, because of continuing new publicity and awards, especially the C&D Best 10.

I don't understand the list. Is this the top selling cars for November? If so, the Camry and/or Accord should be on the list, right? What's the criteria for this list?

It's interesting though that all but two come from Japan.

I think it's average number of days per car on dealer's lot before being sold.

"Hottest," not "top" selling. In a nutshell, manufacturers can't keep up with demand for cars on this list.

Thanks for the assist too, Larch!

Well, I was holding out for a Sienna, but I got a TSX instead

I've yet to see a Scion anything. Maybe there's only been 3 sold, but they sold quickly.

That really skews this metric towards low-volume cars. Do they even keep M-B SL's in stock?

The skew toward low volume cars is not as great as you might think. Low volume cars (mean those that sell under 20,000) like the Saab 9-3, Saab 9-5, most Volvos and Lexus IS300 are not on the list. Also, many of the cars on the list are "volume" vehicles.
