Honda Civic Dethrones Ford F-Series from U.S. Sales Chart

For the first time in 22 years Ford’s F-Series pick up truck has lost the first place in the U.S. sales chart, not by one, but by four Japanese cars. The last time any car managed to outsell Ford’s pick up truck (according to Autodata) was GM’s Oldsmobile Cutlass back in May 1986.

According to preliminary sales figures released by manufacturers, America’s most favorite models in May were the Honda Civic with 53,299 units, followed by Toyota’s Corolla and Camry with 52,826 and 51,291 sales respectively while in fourth position, we find yet another Honda, the Accord with 43,778 units. Ford’s F-Series was placed in fifth place with 42,973 units -a 30.6% drop compared to last May and its sixth straight monthly decline.
