It's funny. I talk to one friend of mine who's in the auto sales racket and he says its painfully slow; however, I just got off the horn with a dealer friend of mine who's selling luxury wares and he tells me that they're doing a remarkable amount of business.
And, he's not just blowing smoke.
While picking up a special piece of kit today there were deliveries going on up the wazoo.

Just on sale, the Subaru BRZ and Toyota's Scion FR-S, in that order, topped Edmunds.com's list of quickest-selling vehicles in May. The list is based on Edmunds.com's calculation of days-to-turn; that is, the number of days a vehicle sits at the dealership before it is sold.

By comparison, industry wide, it took an average of 53 days to sell a vehicle.
