Considering a NEW Vehicle? See which models are Hot and Hard to Find

This summer's auto sales have been so sizzling that dealerships are running short of the hottest new models.

Last month, 27 models spent an average of fewer than 30 days on dealers' lots before being delivered to an eager buyer, about half the average that automakers consider optimal. The in-demand models span the spectrum from luxury SUVs to performance cars, Kelley Blue Book reports.

Most wanted: Land Rover's pricey LR4 and Range Rover SUVs.

With gas prices moderating, boxy vehicles are back in vogue. There is only an 11-day supply on lots of the new Lincoln MKC compact crossover — "a very new vehicle ... in a really hot segment," says Ford sales analyst Erich Merkle.

Chrysler, meanwhile, is short of Ram pickups, Jeep Grand Cherokees and Wranglers. General Motors says its premier performance car, the Chevrolet Corvette, and its biggest SUVs, including the new Cadillac Escalade, GMC Yukon and Chevrolet Tahoe, won't stay on lots. 

"Every one we get, we're selling," says Inder Dosanjh, a GM dealer in Dublin, Calif. "No rebates, no special leases, not even $100 off the car." Some barely touch pavement. Dosanjh says he has pre-sold all the Escalades that he has been able to snag.
