With that big increase in December – equal to 5681 additional sales, year-over-year – Camry volume in 2015 was 0.2% stronger in American than in 2014. Its next-best-selling rival, the Honda Accord, slid back with an 8% decrease, though Accord volume in December was similarly strong.

Indeed, all four of America's top-selling cars in 2015 posted December increases, including a sterling 29% jump for the new Honda Civic. No other top seller produced so great a year-over-year improvement, not the Nissan Sentra (+28.4%), Hyundai Sonata (+27.3%), or Kia Soul (+22.7%).
