What goes up must come down, and the Honda Civic surely has. At the end of 2010, the Civic was America's fourth-best-selling car. With a 15% decline in volume, the Civic fell to eighth in 2011. Ahead of the Civic are two direct rivals, the Chevrolet Cruze and Toyota Corolla, as well as five midsize sedans, including last year's eighth-placed car, Hyundai's Sonata. Sonata sales jumped 15% in 2011.
In fact, the only car on this list to fall harder than the Civic was another Honda, the Accord. Sales of Honda's midsizer slid 19% and the Accord dropped from second to third, making way for the Nissan Altima.
Though the Altima jumped up from fifth, top spot was still a long ways off. The Toyota Camry was once again the best-selling car in America, 39,529 sales ahead of the Altima. Camry sales slid 6% in 2011 but finished the year with a 7% jump in December.
The list is now complete with entries from Mercedes-Benz, the C-Class, and BMW, the 3-Series. Though sales of BMW's iconic sedan/coupe/convertible/wagon family were down the year before the car was being replaced, the 3-Series remained exceedingly healthy, out-selling upstart mainstream alternatives like the Chrysler 200 and Kia Optima and seeing off the C-Class and other direct rivals, by some margin, at the same time.
These are the 25 best-selling cars in America for 2011. Check out last year's top sellers here.
