Coming in second for March 2013 sales was Toyota with 175,720 units sold. Rounding off the top five was Chevrolet (173,859), Nissan (126,623), and Honda (121,938).
The bottom of the list is filled with luxury automakers such as Bentley (206) and Maserati (218), which aren’t high-volume brands to begin with.
