Camry sales nevertheless dropped 15%, not a tremendous surprise given market trends and the fact that January hosted the debut of the next Camry at the North American International Auto Show.
But the Camry's rate of decline wasn't exceptional among America's most popular cars. 16 of the 20 best-selling cars in America in February 2017 sold less often this February than last.

Standing out as exceptions were the Hyundai Elantra, Chevrolet Cruze, Kia Forte, and new Subaru Impreza.
