It’s turning out to be a long hot summer for car shoppers.
New cars remain in tight supply due to the ongoing supply chain issues affecting the industry.
It’s driving up prices, but not slowing down sales, as buyers are scooping up some cars and trucks as soon as they hit showrooms.
One brand in particular is having trouble keeping up with demand.

Dealers needed just 12.9 days to turn one off their lots. That’s nearly three times faster than the current industry average of 37.2 days, which is down significantly from historic norms.

Sandwiched between them were the Honda Civic in second and the Honda CR-V in fourth at 17.7 days.
