December 2013 Auto Sales: Winners and Losers

Winner – Mitsubishi +56 percent

What, the dead-and-buried Mitsubishi brand posted a sales gain, and a SIGNIFICANT one at that? What’s going on here, have we all fallen into some sort of cosmic wormhole and landed in a parallel dimension? No, apparently not. The triple-diamond brand’s sales jumped 56 percent last month compared to the same time in 2012. That’s huge growth for this troubled company; their deliveries topped 6,400 in December. For all of 2013 Mitsubishi was up 8 percent compared to the year prior.
