Top 20 Best-Selling Cars In America - August 2016
The Camry pipped its nearest competitor, the Honda Civic, by a mere 57 sales in August 2016. The second-ranked Civic led all small cars, outselling the next-best-selling Toyota Corolla by more than 2000 units. The Camry's next-best-selling direct rival, the Honda Accord, was 2749 sales back of the midsize Toyota.

A sharp drop-off to the fifth-ranked Chevrolet Cruze – which finally reported a year-over-year increase after a rough start to the year – separated the four top-selling North American-built "imports" from the pack.
Only five of America's 20 best-selling cars reported more sales in August 2016 than in August 2015. For the Accord, the 26% drop represented a 10,816-unit decline. In comparison with August 2014, Accord sales were down by 20,960 units from that record August result.
But the Accord's 26% drop was not the worst of the bunch. Seven of America's 20 most popular cars posted worse percentage declines in August 2016.
