The Honda Civic takes the top spot in USA car sales for the month of July, outselling its next closest rival by almost 3,000 cars.
The top-10 all failed to best the previous year’s Year-to-Date figures, with only the Civic and the Hyundai Elantra managing to stay within 5% of 2016.
In fact only three cars in this top-20 are ahead of where they were at this point in 2016. The Subaru Impreza, which received a redesign earlier in the year when production was also shifted to Lafayette, Indiana reports unprecedented growth in sales, with 15,000 more cars leaving dealers YTD than by the start of August last year.
