Toyota sold more Avalons in March 2013 than in any month in the last seven years. The main rivals which sold more often were domestics from Chevrolet, Dodge, and Ford. 

Impala sales fell sharply in March and will likely fall further when the not-as-fleet-friendly tenth-gen 2014 Impala arrives. Dodge Charger sales dipped slightly in March but are up 16% this year. 926 of the Tauruses sold in March were Police Interceptors. Sales of non-police Tauruses rose 14% in the first quarter of 2013.

At the current pace, which is likely to increase, Toyota would sell more than 50,000 Avalons in America in 2013. Chevrolet, meanwhile, could sell less than 150,000 Impalas.
