Movers and Losers: September 2010
With the arrival of 2011 models, there are some cars you’d expect to find on this list, including leftover 2010 models such as the Subaru Impreza, Chevy Corvette and Nissan 370Z. However, there are a few models that you wouldn’t think you could make a deal on.
There are more than 2,700 2010 Chevy Camaros in Cars.com’s inventory, and the 2011s are already at dealerships. That should mean a better deal than you’d expect on what was one of the hottest cars on this list.
Unfortunately, that’s not the case in terms of advertised incentives. There’s only a $1,500 accessory allowance on the 2010 Camaro in some regions. But we wouldn’t be surprised if dealers discount the Camaro, especially with winter approaching.
The 2010 Toyota Matrix and Yaris two-door hatchback also have significant inventories without a lot of 2011s at dealerships. Toyota is offering $750 cash-back on the 2010 Matrix and $500 on the 2010 Toyota Yaris or zero to 2.9% APR for up to 60 months in select regions.

About the Lists
The Movers and Losers list reports the average number of days it takes to sell models from the day they arrive on the lot until the final paperwork is signed by a buyer. This is not a days-of-inventory list like you may find on other sites. We’re now focusing on only the 2010 and 2011 model years.
For Movers, we only list vehicles that pass a certain threshold of sales in order to weed out limited editions, ultra-high performance cars and others that might skew the numbers or otherwise inaccurately portray popularity. For Losers, we have removed any threshold to now reflect phased-out models because many shoppers might be looking for an outgoing model year to match with a greater incentive.
