Moving up from 13th in 2003 to the tenth spot in 2004, the Chevrolet Malibu produced the biggest year-over-year improvement of any car on this list of the ten best-selling cars in America in 2004.
One year earlier, the Malibu fell in behind the tenth, 11th, and 12th-best-selling cars, the Pontiac Grand Am, Ford Mustang, and Pontiac Grand Prix, respectively. Grand Am volume slid 14.6% in 2004, Mustang sales dropped 7.5%, and the Grand Prix's 5% year-over-year increase was only good enough to keep it in the 12th position.
