The Nissan Altima is the car the most in the U.S. in March 2013
- The Toyota Camry and Honda Accord are the two cars the most sold in the U.S. since 1997. These models are classified as mid-sized segments in this market ( European E segment ). Their Ford and Chevrolet competitors are called Fusion and Malibu.
- In recent years, the competing car from the Nissan brand, the Altima, has been growing without interruption in term of sales to finally come close the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord sales, market leaders for nearly fifteen years.
- In March 2013, the Nissan Altima sales (37,763 units) have exceeded those of the Toyota Camry (37,663 units) and the Honda Accord (36,504 units) for the first time. If this trend continues, the Altima could become the most sold car in the U.S. in 2013.
- Moreover, this model is more recent than the Camry and Accord that are at the end of their cycle. According to the carmaker, the Altima would have benefited from the 2011 production problems Toyota and Honda were having, very much affected by the Japanese tsunami. Indeed, some of the Toyota Carmy and the some of the Honda Accord potential customers would have preferred to acquire a Nissan Altima, rather than waiting several months for the delivery of the car they planned to buy initially, this phenomena would have accelerated the growth.
