|  Cars are like fruits and vegetables: They sell better fresh. Of course, even the freshest dud remains a dud. But all else being equal, those with a fresher line-up outsell those with aged product. TrueCar has put together an interesting table: What are the proportions of model year 2011 (yes, they are still on the lots), 2012, and 2013 in a brand's sales?
Freshness is tops | Brand | MY 2011 | MY 2012 | MY 2013 | | Hyundai | 0.00% | 58.30% | 41.70% | | Lexus | 1.00% | 68.20% | 30.80% | | Acura | 0.60% | 69.00% | 30.40% | | Mazda | 0.70% | 74.30% | 25.00% | | BMW | 2.20% | 73.30% | 24.60% | | Kia | 0.20% | 76.50% | 23.20% | | Infiniti | 1.10% | 76.80% | 22.10% | | Audi | 0.20% | 80.50% | 19.30% | | Lincoln | 4.90% | 77.60% | 17.50% | | Volvo | 25.00% | 58.30% | 16.70% | | Ford | 1.20% | 84.10% | 14.60% | | Overall | 1.20% | 92.10% | 6.70% | | Scion | 0.00% | 94.10% | 5.90% | | Porsche | 0.70% | 94.30% | 5.10% | | Subaru | 0.10% | 96.70% | 3.20% | | Volkswagen | 0.50% | 97.40% | 2.10% | | Chevrolet | 1.70% | 96.70% | 1.70% | | Cadillac | 2.10% | 96.70% | 1.20% | | Mercedes-Benz | 1.00% | 97.80% | 1.20% | | Toyota | 1.10% | 98.80% | 0.10% | | Nissan | 1.50% | 98.40% | 0.10% | | GMC | 1.30% | 98.60% | 0.10% | | FIAT | 0.00% | 100.00% | 0.00% | | Honda | 0.30% | 99.70% | 0.00% | | MINI | 0.70% | 99.30% | 0.00% | | Jeep | 0.70% | 99.30% | 0.00% | | Suzuki | 0.80% | 99.20% | 0.00% | | Ram | 1.20% | 98.80% | 0.00% | | Buick | 1.60% | 98.40% | 0.00% | | Dodge | 2.00% | 98.00% | 0.00% | | Chrysler | 2.80% | 97.30% | 0.00% | | Jaguar | 3.10% | 96.90% | 0.00% | | Land Rover | 3.20% | 96.80% | 0.00% | | Mitsubishi | 5.00% | 95.00% | 0.00% | It is quite interesting to see that import brands and luxury brands have already a strong amount of sales with model-year 2013 sales in June.
