General Motors was the leading manufacturer in November, finishing the month ~27,000 units ahead of Toyota Group, a wider margin than recent months. nevertheless, the Toyota brand retained its title as the market’s bestselling make in November, ~17k units ahead of Ford Motor, which continues to be plagued by quality and recall problems. For the first time since August, the Ford F-150 outsold Toyota RAV4 as the country’s most popular model. Chevrolet Silverado nudged aside Toyota Camry for third place.

“November was a rather mixed bag of results, although this is perhaps not surprising given the combination of different factors at play in the Light Vehicle market at present. While positive year-on-year comparisons always make for a more upbeat mood in the industry, this is less meaningful at the moment due to the anomalous results a year ago’” said David Oakley, Manager, Americas Sales Forecasts, LMC Automotive.
