Q1 2009 Car Sales Surprise…

Biggest gainer for Q1 2009 (www.kia.com)

Well, its no surprise that the first quarter of 2009 was an ugly one from a sales point of view. Wards just released it Q1 vehicle sales for North America and overall was down 38% compared to Q1 of 2008. Not all was doom and gloom though, there were some individual models that actually saw a sales spike. Proof that there is still a demand of cars. The biggest surprise? The Kia Amanti saw a threefold increase in car sales. I am not sure what is really going on in the US, but when the Kia Amanti sees a sales spike something seems amiss.
