New Malibu Sales, some think its going to be in top three

I think time will tell, Camry gets first because there are customers who don’t care about styling but mainly reliability and being comfortable. But I would doubt that Fusion goes to second. My prediction would be:

1. Camry
2. Altima
3. either Malibu or Fusion
4. Accord
5. Malibu or Fusion
6. Sonata/Optima
7. Passat.

@Babersher I’m glad I’m the focus of a post (or two) 😉

Here’s what I will tell you about your list for a year from today: Ford isn’t shooting to be the volume leader with its new Fusion. It will charge more for it, and is aiming to be a lot more profitable than its competitors with a lower volume. So your placement of the Fusion in 2nd will most likely be incorrect. And I’ll hold you to that! B-)

ya the fusion and the passat seem to be the same with what they are. lower-volume higher-profit vehicles. ps out of those two i’d chose the passat. out of the korean ones i’d chose the optima. out of the accord/altima i’d chose the accord. out of the camry/malibu i’d chose the ‘bu. can you see my styling preferences now. lol 😀

if it were me I’d chose Fusion or Malibu as the top of my list. The first one off my list are Camry and Accord.

I’ll just throw a shot in the dark…
1.Camry (for a few years)
2.Altima (for a few years)
3.Malibu (Will rise)
4.Passat (Will rise)
5.Optima/Sonata (They’ve got some propaganda going, claiming the Optima is fast)
6.Fusion (Like Alex said, low volume)
7.Accord (Just because it’s an aged generation)
