Well, we didn’t expect sales numbers in 2010 to be anything that interesting, but throw in a recall or two of the country’s most popular cars and interesting sales numbers are what you get. As a brand, Toyota sales were down 14%. Since Lexus actually saw sales rise 12% for the same time period, we can say with near absolute certainty that the recalls and sales stoppage at the end of the month were the reasons for the drop.
 
Toyota’s problems also shake up the top 10 list with the Toyota Camry and Corolla dropping a bit, but still earning spots on the list. Not on the list is the Chevy Equinox, which had its best sales month since being redesigned, at 9,513. It’s nipping at the heels of the Honda CR-V (9,672) and segment leader Ford Escape (10,743).  
1. Ford F-Series: 27,630
2. Chevy Silverado: 22,772
3. Honda Accord: 20,759 (1,737 Accord Crosstours included)
4. Nissan Altima: 18,636
5. Toyota Corolla: 17,121
6. Chevy Malibu: 16,439
7. Toyota Camry: 15,792
8. Honda Civic: 14,693
9. Chevy Cobalt: 12,962
10. Ford Fusion: 12,179
