April's surprise fastest-selling car, plus May deal picks

The sun is shining in many parts of the country that were gripped by cold for another long winter, and many folks in those areas are running out to buy cars at a fast pace. But no matter the weather, SUVs and pickup trucks are what they're buying.



Eighteen of the 23 fastest-selling cars in April were SUVs or pickups, but most surprising was the vehicle that took the top spot as the month's fastest seller.
Wagons have mostly disappeared from the automotive landscape thanks to the popularity of SUVs during the past 25 years, but Volkswagen's new Golf SportWagen was in demand, selling in just nine days.

Subaru's Outback wagon, which is more of a crossover these days, also sold quickly at 12 days. Both wagons far outpaces the average of 53 days to sell a new car. While that average is up from last month's 50 days it is down versus last April when it took 56 days. That says April was a good month for car sales.
