March 2017 YTD U.S. Passenger Car Sales Rankings - Top 157 Best-Selling Cars In America - Every Car Ranked

Sales of passenger cars declined 11% in the United States in March 2017, and sales of cars are now down 12% through the first-quarter of 2017, year-over-year.

Led by worse-than-average declines from the Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, Nissan Sentra, Ford Fusion, Hyundai Sonata, Ford Focus, Chevrolet Malibu, Nissan Versa, Volkswagen Jetta, Kia Soul, Ford Mustang, and Dodge Charger – 12 of the 20 most popular cars in America – the U.S. passenger car sector has already lost more than 200,000 sales already this year.
