Cars
July 2015 marked the first month since September 2014 that the Toyota Corolla wasn't America's best-selling small car; the first month since September 2014 that the Honda Civic was America's best-selling small car.
U.S. Vehicle Sales Rankings By Model - July 2015 YTD
U.S. Car Sales Rankings By Model - July 2015 YTD
Civic volume rose 4% to 31,139 units, a 1101-unit increase. That alone would have been enough had Corolla volume remained level compared with July 2014, but Corolla sales dropped 2% to 30,249 units, a modest 584-unit decrease.
Overall, compact car volume is on the rise, both in July and through the first seven months of 2015.
Subcompacts? Not so much.
Not only did the class-leading Nissan Versa plunge 36%, but the category it leads plunged 25% as every rival save for the Hyundai Accent and Toyota Yaris posted decreased July volume, as well. In total, subcompact sales slid by 12,420 units in July; by nearly 21,000 units year-to-date.
Moreover, city cars like the Chevrolet Spark, Mitsubishi Mirage, Smart Fortwo, Scion iQ, and Fiat 500 tumbled, too. So did the Volkswagen Beetle and Hyundai Veloster.

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 Encore and XV Crosstrek are listed with small SUVs, too, and the Acura ILX shown with mainstream cars is also displayed with luxury cars... 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.
