Top 20 Best-Selling Cars In America - February 2011

Strong performances by America's most popular cars in February are evidenced by the lack of red font in the table below. Among the Top 20 Best-Selling Cars In America from February 2011, only three suffered declining sales compared with February 2010. The Ford Focus will be replaced soon; the Nissan Versa dropped by 8.9% alongside strong Sentra sales, and the Mazda 3 fell 1.7% as news of a facelift and improved engines reached the press.

In terms of specific one-on-one battles in February, you'll notice the 2011 Ford Fusion topping both the Honda Accord and Nissan Altima. Having achieved two consecutive months of best-selling car status in Canada, the 2011 Hyundai Elantra wasn't able to conquer the Nissan Sentra, Chevrolet Cruze, Honda Civic, or Toyota Corolla in the USA. Without the Cobalt's 153 sales, the Chevrolet Cruze still maintains its position inside the top ten.

Expanding this list to the twenty cars for the sake of being thorough brings about unanticipated results - did you know the Kia Soul was that popular? Up 85.7% over February 2010 and 25.1% over January 2011, the Soul out-sold heavily marketed vehicles like the Ford Fiesta and BMW 3-Series. At the same time the stylish Soul out-performed the Kia Forte and Kia Optima, both of which posted significant year-over-year gains.
