10 cars Americans don't want to buy

10. Volvo XC90
> Days in inventory: 119
> 2013 sales: 4,705
> Car type: SUV
> MSRP: $39,700

The XC90 is a mid-size seven-passenger SUV, the largest model in Volvo’s XC
series. Volvo introduced the XC90 in 2002 and aims to begin production of
the second generation in 2014. In the meantime, however, good safety scores
are not giving the company the edge that it used to have. According to
Edmunds.com, most XC90 rivals score just as well on safety tests and tend to
offer more-appealing designs. Since the beginning of this year, only 4,705
units have been sold in the United States. This is down more than 27% from
the year before.

> Days in inventory: 119
> 2013 sales: 2,070
> Car type: SUV
> MSRP: $37,295

The 2013 LR2 received a less-than-favorable review from Edmunds.com, which
recommended the model only for off-road driving. By comparison, its on-road
performance was judged to be disappointing, partly because of Land Rover’s
efforts to create a vehicle suited for both off- and on-road driving. Kelley
Blue Book likewise noted the car was best suited for off-road driving. On
average, the LR2 spent 119 days on dealers’ lots before being sold. This
may be partially due to low production volume. Since the beginning of this
year, only 2,070 LR2 cars have been sold.

8. Nissan Maxima
> Days in inventory: 125
> 2013 sales: 31,479
> Car type: Sedan
> MSRP: $31,000

The Nissan Maxima scores fairly well in some categories, but it is rated
below average in overall mechanical quality and in fuel economy, according
to J.D. Power. Another reviewer, Edmunds.com, notes the Maxima was
competitive in the 1990s, but that the current model may be too expensive.
The Nissan Maxima carries a price-tag similar to many luxury sedans, but
without the high-end brand name. Nissan sold more than 31,000 Maximas since
the beginning of this year, well below last year’s pace of 40,000 units
through August.

7. Nissan Murano
> Days in inventory: 127
> 2013 sales: 28,299
> Car type: SUV
> MSRP: $28,440

6. Acura MDX
> Days in inventory: 132
> 2013 sales: 30,264
> Car type: SUV
> MSRP: $42,290

The Acura MDX is a luxury crossover SUV with a starting price of more than $
42,000. At the time of its release for the 2001 model year, the MDX was
considered a relative latecomer to the SUV market, according to Edmunds.com.
The most recent redesign of the MDX has earned rave reviews, with Consumer
Reports giving it a “recommended” rating and Edmunds.com giving it an “A.
” However, year-to-date sales for the MDX remain down 11%. Acura recently
initiated a new sales push to better-tailor cars for the American consumer.
As one executive told Bloomberg, Acura struggles with being “known as a
value company” among luxury car brands.

5. Infiniti EX
> Days in inventory: 137
> 2013 sales: 1,189
> Car type: SUV
> MSRP: $36,900

Reviewers at Kelley Blue Book and Edmunds.com say that the Infiniti EX
offers a sporty driving experience for a crossover SUV, yet less space for
passengers and cargo. The current model does not appear to have much
traction with consumers. Only 1,189 units of the model have been sold this
year through August, almost half of the sales during the same period last
year. While crossover SUVs have become increasingly popular, does not seem
to have benefited the Infiniti EX, recently renamed the QX50.

4. Acura ILX
> Days in inventory: 142
> 2013 sales: 13,907
> Car type: Sedan
> MSRP: $26,900

The Acura ILX received praise from Consumer Reports for its various high-end
features, including a multi-angle rear camera and noise cancellation. But,
according to Edmunds.com, there are as good or better compact luxury sedans
available for the same price. Additionally, the ILX is only offered as a
four-door sedan, and automatic transmission is not an option, factors that
might make the car a tougher sell. Despite these criticisms, the long
average time the car spend on dealers’ lots and last year’s recall of the
2013 Acura ILX, sales actually have soared. Through August, nearly 14,000
units have been sold in 2013, up from just over 4,000 in the first eight
months of 2012.

3. Mitsubishi Lancer
> Days in inventory: 143
> 2013 sales: 14,330
> Car type: Sedan
> MSRP: $15,995

The Mitsubishi Lancer was introduced in 1973. Since that time, the Lancer
has been sold under a variety of names, such as the Mirage, Eagle Summit and
Colt. The original Lancer suffered from poor reviews, with Edmunds.com
describing it as underpowered and dull. Although Mitsubishi improved some of
these features in later generations, the current Lancer model still trails
considerably behind competitors in fuel economy and interior quality,
according to reviews. This may be due to Mitsubishi leaving its compact
sedan models largely unchanged for several years.

2. Volvo C30
> Days in inventory: 146
> 2013 sales: 1,190
> Car type: Hatchback
> MSRP: $25,500

The Volvo C30 hatchback has largely failed to catch on in the United States.
Volvo decided in 2012 to kill off the model, making the 2013 C30 its final
version. The model has failed to sell well during its final year. Volvo has
barely sold more than 1,000 C30s this year through August, down nearly 40%
from the first eight months of 2012. The winding down of the model reflects
a broader trend in Volvo’s operations, according to Car and Driver, as the
company looks to shed a number of its models to focus on its more profitable
vehicles.

1. Acura TSX Sport Wagon
> Days in inventory: 158
> 2013 sales: 1,491
> Car type: Sport Wagon
> MSRP: $31,860

The TSX Sport Wagon spends the most time on car dealer’s lots of any car
model. Acura sold fewer than 1,500 units this year. For overall performance
and design, J.D. Power rated the 2013 TSX Sport Wagon below average. Edmunds
.com’s review says the Sport Wagon is a viable choice among sporty luxury
cars, but that it has not kept up with the performance offered by some of
its competitors. Additionally, with the newer Acura ILX now available, the
TSX — offered as either a sedan or a station wagon — is no longer the
entry-level model for Acura. The Sport Wagon version of the TSX is
relatively new, introduced in 2011.
