As of March the CTS is still in the Top 10 Hottest selling cars per the WSJ. The info is from JD Power.

Average turn rate of 20 days with an average transaction price of $40,261.

That's cool.

It'd be nice if they could tell the average transaction price relative to MSRP.

It's tied for 9/10 with the BMW X3.

The cars that sells the most, are going to be the cheaper cars. They have to be. That's not a mystery. The operative words are "top selling cars".

OH I would doubt that.
First of all if the category is best selling vehicles.....the top three positions almost certainly would be pickup trucks with the Ford F150 the favorite of people who need a work truck......
If it was STRICTLY cars, then it would be the camry and accord.
There would be plenty of American cars like the impala, etc.

But the post is about the "hottest" cars.
Sort of a phony catregory that rewards low production numbers.
Those who have the lowest inventory, win.

Can't somebody just post the list?

The WSJ ranks them by the average number of days a car model spends on a dealer lot. I dunno the finer details, such as whether build-to-order cars count as zero days or whether they filter limited edition or super expensive models.

That would make sense, since most people are ordering.

Online WSJ requires a subscription. I take the old fashioned paper variety.

It's actually a pretty good way to judge how hot a car is. Of course most people are ordering them - there are damn few on the lots.
