Camry sales jumped 14% as leftover 2014s and new 2015s combined to attract more than 33,000 buyers. The Camry outsold its nearest rival, August and September's best-selling car, by more than 6000 units in October and by nearly 37,000 units through the first ten months of 2014.
Toyota and Honda also landed the third and fifth-best-selling cars in the United States in October: the Corolla and Civic. The Civic was the highest-ranking car to post a year-over-year decrease, the Civic's fourth consecutive decline.
America's best-selling Detroit-badged car in October 2014 was the Chevrolet Cruze, sales of which shot up 51% to 24,289 units, 1443 sales ahead of the Ford Fusion. Hyundai Sonata sales plunged 22% despite its freshness. Read GCBC's review of the new Sonata to learn about our concerns. Similarly, the Hyundai Elantra's U.S. volume decreased sharply in October, but the Elantra is a much older design.
