Not every automobile sells as well as America's best-selling vehicle, the [Ford](http://www.compassautowarranty.com/resources/my-manufacturers-warranty/ford.aspx) F-150, and some fare far worse on the market than others. AutoBlog recently compiled their own list of  the worst-selling vehicles of 2011, excluding any vehicles that were not manufactured throughout the entire year and those with a price tag higher than $100,000.

The Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback came in as the third-worst vehicle in terms of sales. The hatchback edition of the Lancer only sold 1,548 units in 2011, but it still did better than the Hyundai Azera (1,524) and the vehicle with the lowest number of units sold, the Acura RL (1,096).

The worst-selling vehicle in America may have done so poorly due to inadequate safety test ratings. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the model top marks for frontal offset and side impact tests, but the RL only did marginally well when it came to roof strength tests. A score of "marginal" is only one step up from "poor," the worst rating a vehicle can get.

Even if their vehicles are among the worst-selling in America, drivers should still keep up with maintenance and repairs. An [extended warranty](http://www.compassautowarranty.com/) can cover the costs so they can save up for something more popular next time around.
