A company called AutoVIBES tracks an automobile’s “buzz” based on in-market vehicle buyers’
reactions and awareness to a new vehicle nameplate three-six months prior to entering the market through nine months of
vehicle sales. Number one and two on the list shouldn’t be hard to guess… the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Magnum. The Nissan
Titan, despite slower-than-Nissan-wanted-without-incentives sales was four on the list and the
no-sales-before-incentives GTO was fifth. I suppose the “buzz” around the GTO was huge, it was on every magazine cover
and the Titan was the “Truck of the Year”. It just goes to show a buzz doesn’t always mean sales. The full top-ten list
is at the link.
