    Strange how you can't find a Mercedes or Nissan dealer in Philadelphia but they sold so many vehicles here!

    What are you talking about? There's a Nissan dealership right by the airport, at the AutoMall! And we're surrounded by other Nissan dealerships--about 7 or 8 within 10 miles. There are 2 Mercedes dealerships within less than 10 miles of center city; few places have 2 Mercedes dealerships so close to choose from.

    You should really check your facts (it's easy!) before posting like that.

    The slipshod reporting should really have made it clear whether those figures were just for the city (probably not) or for the Philadelphia MSA (almost surely, otherwise the sample data would have been too small in some auto segments).

    Title of the article is "Best-selling cars in Philadelphia".

    Reading comprehension problem tatt? Key words "in Philadelphia". Missed them in my post, eh? Try reading slower.

    @sporty... Like many other times that you see Philadelphia used... They are talking about the region... not just the city itself. Most TV commercials on local TV tell you to see your "Local Del Val xxx (fill in the brand) Dealer. Or perhaps you "tri state" xxx Dealer. etc...

    Hope this helps!

The 2013 Chevrolet Impala has a new design, although it rides atop General Motors´ Epsilon platform, which is used for the midsize Buick Regal, Opel Insignia and Chevrolet Malibu, as well as the full-size Cadillac XTS and Buick LaCrosse. These cars share the same width, varying only in the length of their wheelbase. (Courtesy of Chevrolet/MCT)
Impala an impressive new flagship for Chevrolet
My brother called me a few years ago from a rental car counter. He, along with four co-workers, was trying to figure out which car would hold them all, along with their luggage. Among the candidates offered, only one was a full-size car: a Chevrolet Impala.
