There are many ways to measure an automaker's success. Awards, vehicle praise, production rates...these are all ample methods. But when it comes down to it, Anderson Nissan of Asheville suggests simply looking to the numbers. Why? Sales figures and growth statistics aren't biased. They always, always, always tell the truth.

We have to say, the truth that Nissan stats have been speaking lately is incredibly encouraging. Starting with the big picture, our favorite automaker recently pulled its numbers and found that sales for the first month of 2012 were up 10.4-percent over the same period of time last year. Al Castignetti, Nissan Division Vice President and General Manager, comments, "Nissan carried momentum from a strong finish to 2011 into January."¹

Of course, in order to keep that upward sales trend in full swing, the automaker had to continue to produce excellent new Nissan vehicles. So, they did. More specifically, here are a few of the star Nissan performers and their sales increases for the month of January:

-          Nissan Versa: 8.5 percent
-          Nissan Altima: 35.9 percent
-          Nissan Rogue: 5.1 percent
-          Nissan Frontier: 35.3 percent

If you're already a proud owner of one of these innovative vehicles, then give yourself a pat on the back. You've chosen a top-selling, high-quality ride to carry you about your day to day life. If you aren't yet familiar with the Versa and its Nissan siblings, Anderson Nissan of Asheville encourages you to stop by 629 Brevard Road Asheville, NC 28806 for a test drive today.
