Subaru Sales So Strong Dealers Run Out of Cars

Subaru is an unlikely company to have the hottest selling cars in America. It does by far. Perhaps some of it is the extremely positive reviews from car research studies.

Based on a study from Kelley Blue Book, two Subaru models have very short days to turn, which is the time from when a dealer receives a car until it is sold. One of its cars, the Outback, had the shortest days to turn of any vehicle sold in America. In an article “Cars So Hot They’re Out of Stock,” 24/7 Wall St. editors offered an analysis:

Outback
> Make: Subaru
> Avg. days to turn: 16.0
> 2014-2015 sales change: +9.7%
> Starting MSRP: $24,995

Subaru is one of the hottest car brands in the country, breaking its annual U.S. sales record in 2015 for the eighth consecutive year. Sales of the brand’s Outback model, which is second only to the Forrester as the most popular Subaru, increased by 22.7% through the first three months of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.
