August 2014 Auto Sales: Winners and Losers

Winner – Maserati +278 Percent

But blowing past all rivals and topping every competitor was Maserati. The Italian exotic brand posted a 278 percent year-over-year sales increase last month, making it the strongest performing brand in the industry. Despite the eye-popping percentage figure actual vehicle deliveries were minuscule at just 1,233. August sales in 2013 were just 326.
