• All 258 Autos Ranked By May 2014 & YTD U.S. Sales
More than 1.6 million new vehicles were sold in America last month. The 30 top-selling vehicles generated 51.4% of those sales.
Led by the declining Ford F-Series and the surging Toyota Camry, the Chevrolet Silverado and the Honda Accord, America's favourite vehicle lines are mostly the same as they've been for a number of years.
Of course, there are a number of vehicles in the top 30 that weren't top sellers even in the recent past. The Kia Soul was America's 28th-best-selling vehicle in May 2014 - it didn't exist in 2008 and didn't top 100,000 annual sales until 2011.
The Nissan Rogue ranked 22nd overall in May - 42nd overall in calendar year 2009.

• Top 13 Best-Selling Trucks In America - May 2014 YTD
After years of staying away in favour of the Liberty nameplate, the Jeep Cherokee is back, and it was America's 27th-best-selling vehicle in May 2014.
We've already published May lists for the 20 best-selling cars, 20 best-selling SUVs and crossovers, and complete figures for every pickup truck and all minivans, links to which you'll find above. Throwing all those vehicles into one group results in this list of the 30 best-selling vehicles overall. We end up with four pickup trucks, two minivans, nine utility vehicles, and 15 passenger cars.
Historical monthly and yearly sales figures for any of these top-selling vehicles can always be accessed through the dropdown menu at GCBC's Sales Stats page, and for those not viewing the mobile version of this site, near the top right of this page, as well.
