Top 20 Best-Selling Cars In America - February 2014

The Toyota Camry was not the best-selling car in America in February 2014, nor does the Camry lead the way through the first one-sixth of 2014. Nissan Altima sales shot up 11% in difficult conditions in February and it leads the Camry by 1034 units going into March.

Not only was the Altima February's best-selling car in America, it also posted the greatest growth figures among cars in the top 5. As auto sales fell stagnant, Altima volume jumped by more than 3000 units.

The Chevrolet Cruze outsold the Honda Civic in February 2014 but trailed America's favourite compact, the Toyota Corolla. The Cruze also trailed the Ford Fusion (down 14%) as the top-selling Detroit brand car in February. Seven of the 20 top-selling cars in America last month were Detroit brand (or maybe Italian?) nameplates, even with last February's results but up from six in January 2014.
