March 2014 Sales Thread

Subaru
Continuing its long sales streak, Subaru of America, Inc. has reported record sales of 44,479 vehicles for March 2014. This is an increase of 21% over the March 2013 sales of 36,701 and means the company has now set consecutive monthly sales increases for the past 28 months.
The Forester and XV Crosstrek model lines both significantly contributed to the company’s strong March sales and also its performance so far in 2014, which saw the company post first quarter sales of over 100,000 for the first time.
Furthering optimism around the brand, an all-new Legacy sedan model was shown this February and more new models are expected from the company later this year.
“We are delighted to have once again delivered record results” said Thomas J. Doll, president and chief operating officer, Subaru of America, Inc. “2014 looks already set to be our seventh year of consecutive sales growth, with more new product to come”

Hyundai
Hyundai Motor America announced March sales of 67,005, up 37 percent over February, down 1.9 percent from a year ago.
“While we were hoping weather across the country would finally break, much of the nation continued to experience winter conditions, resulting in slower sales early in the month,” said Bob Pradzinski, vice president of national sales, Hyundai Motor America. “During the second half of March, we saw very nice gains in our retail pace that we expect to continue throughout the month of April.”
Entering the spring selling season, we are looking forward to the launch of the all-new 2015 Genesis sedan set to arrive at dealerships later this month. Just as the first Genesis, launched in 2009, was a turning point for the Hyundai brand, we expect the all-new sedan will draw a new group of premium customers to our dealerships.
The Santa Fe family saw sales gains of 36.7 percent, followed by the Tucson at 13.6 percent. The flagship Hyundai Equus was up 13.8 percent for the month, followed by the Sonata and Veloster up 6.8 percent and 3.3 percent respectively.

Mercedes just sold a truckload of S-class's. Those numbers almost remind of the good 'ole days back in the mid 2000s. Almost.
Side note, RAM outsold the Silverado this month! First time since 1999.
