The Honda Civic cemented its position atop 2015’s best-selling car leaderboard in July 2015 despite a 10% year-over-year decline. In July alone, the Civic outsold its nearest rival, the Toyota Corolla, by nearly 1900 units.

With a big July from the Hyundai Elantra, however, that next-best-selling Civic rival, the Toyota Corolla, appears less indelibly linked with the second-highest position. The Elantra outsold the Corolla by 1049 units in July, cutting the Toyota’s lead over the Hyundai to 2399 units. In other words, for the Elantra to earn back its regular number two post, it would need to outsell the Corolla by only 480 sales in each of the next five months.

* indicates a vehicle which is also shown in another GCBC segment breakdown.
GCBC isn’t here to break down segments, an impossible task for any group, but to display sales data for the sake of comparison. The more ways sales data can be displayed, the better. This explains why you’ll see the Encore and XV Crosstrek are listed with small SUVs, too, and the Acura ILX shown with mainstream cars is also displayed with luxury cars… because readers have wanted it both ways. You can always find the sales results for EVERY vehicle and form your own competitive sets by using the All Vehicle Rankings posts.
