Honda Captures 3 Spots In Top 20 Best Selling Vehicles For 2011

Despite numerous disruptions from natural disasters, Honda has three top selling vehicles for 2011.
The best-selling vehicle in the U.S. in 2011 is the Ford F-Series pickup truck. Dealers sold a total of 584,917 F-Series units in 2011, beating out the second-place Chevrolet Silverado by 169,787 units. The Toyota Camry filled out the podium with 308,510 sales, which left the top three unaltered from their 2010 rankings. Fourth place went to the surging Nissan Altima, which jumped from its seventh place position last year. Likewise, the Ford Escape enjoyed a jolt in popularity as well. While the aging CUV took the 13th spot last year, the Ford sold 254,293 units to take fifth place in 2011.

That bumped the Honda Accord and its Crosstour variant to sixth place. Interestingly enough, the Honda duo just barely beat out the Ford Fusion by 5,000 units. Were the two Honda models to be split, the Fusion would have easily knocked the Accord further down the list. Likewise, the Toyota Corolla and Matrix teamed up to edge out the Chevrolet Cruze for ninth and tenth places, respectively.

253,599 Accord Vehicles Sold - #6 Best Selling



221,235 Honda Civic Models Sold - #12 Best Selling



218,373 CR-V Models Sold - #13 Best Selling

Look at the numbers from 2008......Civic and Accord really sold well then. Now the numbers aren't bad by any stretch, but 2008 numbers were amazing.

The RL for sure should be on the list and for good reason, but the ZDX, IMHO would be a better success if it was 10 grand cheaper. The look is nice and the content is also. It's not the most spacious or the most space friendly, but neither are a lot of coupes. It's not the type of vehicle that has to make sense to the most people possible. Just a niche. Something different. But this world is scared of different, so we shy away from it and disown it, hence the ZDX's sales being an epic fail to the highest degree. If sales continue this slide, I really hope Honda lets it go ASAP, along with other slow sellers.....

But on a lighter note, glad Honda still has cars in the top 20 sellers of the year. :) Let's hope 2012 is the year of Honda!!!!

2008 - but it was for the Month of May.

Honda Civic Best Selling Car In The US

There's a new best-selling vehicle in America, and for the first time in 17 years, it's not a pickup truck. It's a Japanese compact car that can be bought for under $20,000 and, even without its optional hybrid powertrain, squeezes over 30 miles of travel out of each gallon of $4 gas.

The best-selling vehicle in the U.S. is now the Honda Civic.

USA Today explains, "Not only was Ford's F-Series pickup, a longtime sales king, passed by Honda's Civic, the May leader, but also by three more cars -- Toyota's Camry and Corolla, and Honda's Accord." May wasn't a complete loss for U.S. automakers. "The subcompact Chevy Aveo was up 44%, the compact Pontiac Vibe up 72%, and the Chevy Cobalt, up 19%." Sales of Ford's Focus increased by 53%. The newly redesigned Chevy Malibu sold so well that, according to GM vice president Mark LaNeve, "We just ran out of product."

But small and midsize car sales couldn't rescue U.S. automakers from a historic loss. According to the New York Times, May marked the first time that Asian automakers outsold all of Detroit's big three. "General Motors, Ford Motor and Chrysler combined for a record low market share of 44.4 percent, compared with 48.1 percent for 10 Asian brands, according to the Autodata Corporation, the industry statistics firm."

Automakers overall lost money last month, continuing a historic slide now into its seventh month. The Detroit Free Press reports, "Industrywide sales of new vehicles declined 10.7% in May." SUV and large truck sales led the plunge, dropping off 23.6% even as car sales rose 2.4%. But the top spot illustrates the shifting American automobile market best. The last time the F-150 was not the best-selling vehicle in the U.S. was June, 2005, "when the Chevrolet Silverado pickup took a brief lead," according to the AP.

The last time a car led auto sales, according to Motor Trend, was September, 1991.
The Civic has never even been Honda's best-selling car before. It topped the Accord for the first time ever in May. Though the Civic is available as a fuel-sipping hybrid, gasoline-powered Civic still drove the sales trend. Kicking Tires reports, "Of the 53,299 Civics sold in May, 4,676 were hybrids." In further proof that Americans are now thinking small, the Corolla outsold the Camry for the first time last month as well.
