Barely.
America's core group of volume-brand midsize cars combined for a 1% improvement in 2014, equal to a scant 27,245-unit improvement.
But America's favourite midsize cars - their favourite cars, full stop - earned greater market share as their sales increased at a far quicker rate. The best-selling Toyota Camry was up 5% to 428,606 units, the Camry's highest total since 2008. America's second-best-selling car, the Honda Accord, was up 6% to its highest total since 2007. Nissan set an Altima U.S. sales record with a 5% year-over-year gain. The fourth-ranked Ford Fusion was up 4%; the fifth-ranked Hyundai Sonata jumped 7%.
Combined, those five top sellers were up 5% to 1,676,420 units in 2014, increasing their share of the midsize market to 69% from 66% in 2013.

GCBC isn't here to break down segments, an impossible task for any group, but to display sales data for the sake of comparison. The more ways sales data can be displayed, the better. This explains why you'll see the Outback and Venza listed with midsize SUVs, too... because readers have wanted it both ways. You can always find the sales results for EVERY vehicle and form your own competitive sets by using the All Vehicle Rankings posts.
