Toyota also earned the second position with the Camry's smaller sibling, the Corolla, and the 19th position thanks to the Toyota Prius.
America's best-selling American-branded car in May 2015 was the sixth-ranked Ford Fusion. But the Fusion, like the Camry and ten other members of this top 20 list, posted noteworthy year-over-year sales declines last month.
The BMW 3-Series (including its 4-Series offshoot) was the only premium brand car to crack the top 20. The Ford Mustang's 16th-place finish was the Blue Oval pony car's third consecutive month inside the top 18.
