Midsize Car Sales in U.S. - October 2013 YTD

Click Chart To Expand Sales of midsize sedans (and a couple of their coupe namesakes) rose 4% in the United States in October 2013 despite the declines reported by America's three best-selling midsize cars.  Toyota Camry sales slid 3%, Honda Accord volume fell 11%, and the Nissan Altima was down 12%.  Huge year-over-year gains from the fourth-best-selling Ford Fusion, fifth-best-selling Hyundai Sonata, and sixth-best-selling Chevrolet Malibu added 18,266 sales to the midsize segment in October, however. Sales of the low-volume Mazda 6 more than doubled. • All 267 Vehicles Ranked By October 2013 YTD U.S. Sales • All 155 Cars Ranked By October 2013 YTD U.S. Sales News surfaced today that Mitsubishi dealers will offer a Korean-built midsize sedan in the not-too-distant future. Galant sales rang in at 97,343 units in 2002. By 2005, Galant volume had fallen to just 33,976 units. Mitsubishi only sold 11,492 Galants in 2010. A Renault-Samsung Galant replacement won't be a Camry beater, but Mitsubishi could find healthier U.S. market share with a competitive car in a category which accounts for 31% of U.S. new car sales.
