(September 22, 2011) SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Atlanta is the hottest U.S. market for new car buyers, reports Edmunds.com. An Edmunds.com analysis of automotive registration data reveals that new retail car registrations in the Atlanta metropolitan area were 24 percent higher in the first half of 2011, compared to the same period in 2010.
The caveat is that if you sold only one car last year and two cars this year your year over year change would be 100 percent. Although all of the markets in the Edmunds’ analysis are in the top 50 they are not necessarily the markets producing the best sales numbers in regard to total new car volume.
