Toyota Camry

* NOW UPDATED with the Top 150 best-selling models: click on title to see! *

Sales of new vehicles in the USA in January 2012 are up a very healthy 11% to 913,287 registrations. The Ford F-Series unsurprisingly stays on top with 38,493 sales, but for the first time since last April, the Toyota Camry is up to second place at 28,295 units, up an impressive 56% year-on-year thanks to the new generation now widely available. The Chevrolet Silverado, weak this month at -5%, rounds up the podium with 26,850 sales.

Honda Civic

Another excellent month for the Nissan Altima up 36% on January 2011 to #4 and 22,357 units. The Honda Civic is now getting an overdue new generation-related kick, up 5 spots on December to #5 and up 49% year-on-year to 21,883 sales. Same situation for the refreshed Honda CR-V, up 16% to 18,960 units at #6. The Toyota Corolla reaches its best position in the US since March 2011 at #7 albeit at -13% while the Chevrolet Impala is up 28 spots on December to #10.

    Why does Honda Accord sell so few? It was always in the top 10.
