February 2016 YTD U.S. Passenger Car Sales Rankings - Top 148 Best-Selling Cars In America - Every Car Ranked

The U.S. auto industry exploded with 7% year-over-year growth in February 2016, producing enough volume to make this February the best February since 2001.

Passenger car sales, however, continued to decline, falling by less than 1% to form little more than four-tenths of the overall market.

From the very top of the leaderboard through to prominent premium players and low-volume  sports cars further down the line, red font was the order of the day. Seven of February's top 19 best-selling cars sold less often in February 2016 than in February 2015, including the top-selling Toyota Camry, third-ranked Nissan Altima, and the Chevrolet Cruze. 

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class, BMW 3-Series, Lexus ES, Infiniti Q50, Acura TLX, Lexus IS, BMW 5-Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 4-Series, and Audi A3 – America's ten top-selling premium brand cars in February – all posted year-over-year declines in February 2016.

Though the Mercedes-Benz C-Class tumbled 14%, the Mercedes-Benz GLC was up 84%. 

While Lexus lost 9% of its February volume, Lexus NX sales jumped 39%. 

Infiniti Q50 volume fell by 285 units; the Infiniti QX50 added 1219 sales.

As a result, overall sales are up despite the losses posted by many cars. Of course, not all cars are falling. 

Through the first one-sixth of 2016, Americans are buying and leasing more Honda Civics than they were last year, more Honda Accords, more Ford Fusions and Nissan Sentras and Chevrolet Malibus and Hyundai Sonatas. More Chevrolet Camaros, Ford Mustangs, and Dodge Challengers, too.
