Passenger car sales in America got off to a stronger start in 2015 than 2014 would have led you to believe, rising more than 8% compared with a rather unpleasant January 2014.

The Toyota Corolla began the year as Americas top-selling car, narrowly outselling its big brother, the Camry, by 594 units. 

The Corolla ended January with an 8658-unit advantage over the next-best-selling small car, Hondas Civic. The Civic, part of a Honda brand which didnt sell as often in January as the Nissan brand, has posted year-over-year declines in each of the last seven months.

* Italicized, asterisked, unranked lines are nothing more than available breakdowns, already included in the models total, not in addition to the models total.
² Total Prius Family sales: down 11.5% to 207,372 in 2014; down 8.3% to 14,414 in December.
³ BMW has chosen to include sales of the 4-Series within figures for the 3-Series, presumably for year-over-year consistencys sake, while also combining the 1-Series and 2-Series. Hyundai does the same with the Genesis and Genesis Coupe. Likewise, Acura has chosen to combine sales figures for the RLX and its predecessor, the RL.
Sales data for brands such as Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus, Rolls-Royce etc. are unfortunately not broken down by model. ANDC estimates say sales for those brands in 2014 were 1224, 2100, 708, 172, and 900, respectively. Tesla, unfortunately, doesnt release model-specific monthly U.S. sales data, but Automotive News now issues estimates for the brand, and those estimates say Tesla sold 2200 cars in December; 26,400 in 2014.  HybridCars.com, however, has typically estimated much lower Model S sales, 1900 in December; 16,550 in 2014.
