Nissan Altima Outsells Camry in March as US Auto Industry Approaches Pre-Recession Levels



The month of March brings with it a new monthly sales leader in the most hotly-contested segment in the US, the mid-sized sedan category, in the form of a the 2013 Nissan Altima, which for the first time in 17 months, has outsold the Toyota Camry. The first managed to sell 37,763, while the second sold just 100 units less.

This is due to Camry sales that are around 12 percent lower than the numbers recorded in 2012, while sales of the Altima are also down, but only by 8 percent. Following the two segment leaders, we have the Honda Accord and the Ford Fusion, the sales of which have increased in March by 36 and 6 percent, respectively.
