Our Take On The Top 20 Best Selling Car Sales Numbers
The Honda Accord appears to have gotten in to its stride in October, as the Toyota Camry and Corolla both fell below it and the number-one-selling Civic. The Civic’s growth is most impressive this month, as its sales were up 15% year-on-year in October, outselling the CR-V SUV.
The Accord failed to achieve the same, though its sales in October were just over 1,000 behind Honda’s big-selling SUV.
Beneath the Corolla, though almost 6,000 sales behind it, are the Nissan Sentra and Altima. The Sentra’s year-on-year growth remains impressive, though not at the same level as the near-enough 40% from September. YTD it is now 0.2% ahead of its performance to this point in 2016.
The Ford Fusion is the first entry from a US automaker in the cars top-20, as it struggles to keep pace with the Japanese entries above it. The Fusion has only dropped one place in the top-20 from last year, though in real terms its October sales have fallen over 6,000 since its best October on record back in 2015. It has seen year-on-year falling sales in 18 out of the past 24 months. Recent reports suggest that further woe could be on the way for the Fusion in the form of a recall after claims steering wheels could come loose while the vehicle is in use.
