Although sales fell 27%, America's perennial best-selling car, the Toyota Camry, was once again the best-selling car in America in January 2014. Its closest challenger was also a Toyota, the revamped Corolla, sales of which also declined in January.
The Honda Accord, America's second-best-selling car in 2013, slid all the way to sixth spot in January as volume fell 14%. But it was a close sixth - just 2728 sales back of top spot; fewer than 2000 sales off the podium; 113 sales out of the top five - and Honda's own Civic finished in the fourth position.
The Volkswagen Passat and Dodge Avenger, both of which cracked the top 20 a year ago, did not end January 2014 amongst the best sellers. The Subaru Outback and Kia Soul filled the void.
Toyota's Camry began 2013 with a nearly 8000-unit gap between it and the second-ranked Accord. 2014 is shaping up to be different, as the Camry leads the second-ranked Corolla by just 579 units and the second-ranked midsize car, Nissan's Altima, by only 817 sales.
