Top 20 Best-Selling Cars In America - December 2011


The Toyota Camry ended 2011 with a flurry, finding 33,506 buyers in December to take the final month's best-selling car crown with ease. The Camry's closest competitor was 7530 units behind. The number two car, Nissan's Altima, reported a 12.9% year-over-year improvement, the second-best jump in the top ten. From the Ford Fusion through to the Honda Accord, with the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic between, there were some notable losses among America's best-selling cars despite the overall market's 8% improvement.

Be clear on one thing, the Camry doesn't look like a car that's keen on giving up top spot. Moreover, the Accord, with a 41.4% decline, doesn't look like a car that's keen on taking back top spot.

These are America's 20 best-selling cars from December 2011. Check out last month's edition of this list here.
