One factor that's influential in determining whether a model is one that dealers won't be able to keep in stock on the lot is, of course, demand. If buyers are lining up 'round the block to get their hands on a certain model, this frenzied enthusiasm will likely have an impact on inventory levels.
The other factor concerns supply. Brand-new models frequently make the list of quickest-selling vehicles because with these models, manufacturers often choose a cautious approach when it comes to supply; production is grown slowly and carefully with the intention of making sure that the products aren't plagued with glitches.
A manufacturer's own general production constraints also play a role. This has been an issue in recent months for both Audi and Hyundai. These manufacturers have done well with models like the Audi Q7, Audi A6, Hyundai Elantra and Hyundai Veloster, but sales numbers for all these vehicles would be even better if the manufacturers were able to achieve greater production capacity.
The models listed below are those with the lowest days to turn for the month of March. "Days to turn" is the number of days between a vehicle's delivery to the dealer floor and its purchase by a customer.
You'll see that the Prius C is at the top of the list. Last month, that model stayed on the lot for only about 8 days until a buyer escorted it to a new home. According to Edmunds.com research, last month's industry average when it comes to this particular metric is a whopping 53 days.
The Prius C isn't the only fuel sipper on the list. Also included are hybrids like the Toyota Camry Hybrid and Toyota Highlander Hybrid.
Other picks on the list include the BMW X3 and X6. The Kia Soul also makes this cut; this model, it turns out, has been outselling its competitors by a wide margin. Land Rover's Range Rover Evoque, Mazda's CX-5, Porsche's Cayenne and Honda's CR-V also make appearances.
