Also, if you have an ad-blocker enabled, that may be an issue accessing the view inventory.

Feb 9th inventory within 100 miles. Accord and Camry inventories are up by about 8% each, so it's hard to tell how many are being sold. Unless there is a fire sale, the Impala inventory is good for another 16 months or so. Better get serious about the incentives. Sonatas have better rebates than GM and they had a sales increase last year! Chapter 11 is coming fast. 14 Lucernes sold in the last 9 days also. Maxima is dead in the water, saleswise. Any other areas of the country want to contribute a running total? Adding Ford Fusion.
 
Fusion 1563
 
Impalas 2219
Accords 1277
Camrys 1385
Sonatas 486
Altimas 881
Lucernes 542
Maximas 263

Feb.15th numbers Camry and Accord inventories still moving up. Fusion did well. Nissan ad blitz with rebates might start moving the Altimas this week.

It'll be another couple of weeks for any new incentives to come out, assuming that the automakers stick to the usual roll-out of incentives just after the first of the month. With the market like it is, that could be a lousy assumption though.

What I didn't say successfully is that Nissan has rebates on the Altima and is having an ad blitz about it starting last week.
 
I bought a GM car in 2003 and got over 5k in incentives with GM loyalty rebates. Right now it appears the Impala will not need to be produced in 2010.
 
I have a Maxima now and have seen only two others since late November. Nissan is going to have to form a strategy also..they are not selling at all around here.

Yeah, I caught that, but the incentives started on 2/2. The ad blitz was delayed a week for some reason eh?
 
I wasn't too clear on what I was trying to say though - the current Nissan incentive expires (in my zip code at least) on 3/2. I'm still assuming that it'll be extended or sweetened. But it's only an assumption. (link)

Feb 22 update. Impalas were down to 2164 on Friday so there may be a glitch in the 100 mile radius numbers. It would appear that 3 Maximas have been sold in the last month. It is impossible to know how many dealers are taking into inventory, but I would hope GM isn't making any more Buicks and Impalas at this point.
 
Fusion 1303
Impala 2214
Accord 1378
Camry 1549
Sonata 491
Altima 849
Lucerne 520
Maxima 260

March 2, 2009 It's a disaster beyond the worst expectations. I will be surprised if sales reach more than 8.7 million this year. It appears some inventory has been shifted out of the area. Nissan cars look like that happened. No way they sold 25 Maximas after selling 3 in two months. Accord and Camry inventory has grown steadily since Jan. 1.

Updates discontinued due to lack of replies and/or interest. The industry is in far more trouble than we realize just as the economies of many countries are worse than we know.

I think people have been reading your posts. Not many of us have the energy to do all the search work that you've been doing, so thanks!.
 
And I guess there's other metrics out there that agree with your assessment that the industry is in a world of hurt, and people are discussing those reports in several other topics here.
