Nissan outsells Honda; Altima outsells Camry

Nissan Leads Asian Brands’ U.S. Gains as Altima Tops Camry

"Nissan’s U.S. growth of 14 percent this year through February contrasts with declines of 5.7 percent for Toyota and 4.8 percent for Honda, which both typically outsell the Yokohama, Japan-based carmaker. Should Altima stay ahead of Camry for all of 2014, it would be a blow to the Toyota model that’s been the top-selling U.S. car for 12 years in a row."

"Nissan’s deliveries, including its Infiniti luxury brand, rose to 115,360 last month from 99,636, according to a statement yesterday. Rogue sport-utility vehicles sales rose 73 percent to 17,197 while Nissan-brand trucks climbed a combined 33 percent. The gains allowed Nissan to pass Honda in U.S. sales this year through February."

"Altima, Nissan’s top seller, rose 11 percent to 30,849 in February, for a total this year of 53,364, the company said. Toyota’s Camry sales fell 7.3 percent to 28,998 last month, for a year-to-date total of 52,330."

While the numbers look good, I think it's unreliable to draw any real conclusions over such a short period of measurement, particularly one where we all know weather played a factor, especially throughout February.

They say Vanilla is the most popular flavor of ice cream.

Here, it's all about preference. Maybe a Vanilla Bean is better than regular Vanilla. What if I like French Vanilla? Light Vanilla because I'm calorie conscious. Vanilla frozen yogurt because I'm health conscious. Sometimes I'm low maintenance and like just regular a** vanilla. Other times I like Tahitian Vanilla because I'm a man of the world.

Because I'm indecisive, my woman tells me sometimes "I don't care what you get, just get some kind of vanilla for god's sake". I imagine many others encounter this problem, and this month, Altima Vanilla won.

Sales volume is such a shallow and limited gauge of success. It's disappointing that global businesses are convinced that it is the ultimate metric. Yes, selling a lot of crap for good profit margins makes money.

But until the name "Toyota" holds more water than "Ferrari" I'm going to go on believing that building the superior product is the only thing that matters.

The moment you begin sacrificing excellence for accessibility is the moment you stop being successful. (See: Toyota, modern Nissan, Windows)

Crap outsells crap.

The only thing this reminds me of is someone saying that either the backstreet boys or nsync outsold one or the other...
