February saw the Japanese automakers kick some ass and take some names. The Toyota Camry is back to its usual self, this time beating the Chevrolet Silverado to take the number two spot. Surprisingly, even the increasingly familiar Nissan Altima surpassed Chevy’s pickup truck, taking the number three spot. The Honda Civic and CRV crossover took home spots number four and five, respectively, helping redeem the Japanese automaker’s poor performance over the past months.
The Ford Focus surprised everyone by beating the popular Chevrolet Cruze, with the former taking the seventh spot and latter failing to even make the top 10 list (it placed 13th overall). Even the relatively uncompetitive Toyota Corolla, at number nine, beat GM’s compact sedan.
As for the overall sales winner, how about you take a guess… February’s top 30 best-selling cars in the U.S. can be found after the jump.
