The Honda Accord has Outsold the Toyota Camry in April in the U.S.

BARRINGTON, Ill. - May 9, 2013 - PRLog -- The 2013 Honda Accord (http://www.motorwerkshonda.com/2013honda-accord.htm) outsold the perennial favorite from Toyota in a coup that has dealerships like Motor Werks Honda excited to be able to announce a 7.4% increase in overall brand sales. Toyota’s sales fell roughly 1.1% in the month, falling well short of estimates. The Honda Accord may be on a course to dethrone the Camry as the best-selling car in the U.S. — a title it has held for 11 years. This is the second month in a row that the Camry has failed to clinch the best-selling mid-size car spot in the U.S., since it is seeing increased competition from other redesigned cars, including the Accord.

Honda reported that in the month of April, sales rose overall to 130,999 cars and trucks, which exceeded the estimated expectations that sales would increase 7.3%. In addition to the popularity of the Accord, the newly redesigned 2013 Civic also saw a large boost in sales. The Civic saw an 8.3% rise in sales to 26,453 units, and was ranked fourth overall for the month; the Accord sold 33,538 units in April. The last time the Accord was the best-selling vehicle in the country was in 2001.

The 2013 Accord, which is available now at Motor Werks Honda in Barrington (http://www.motorwerkshonda.com/dealership/about.htm), is redesigned for this model year. It boasts superb fuel economy, a high-quality fit and finish, and plenty of high-tech features to satisfy even the most discerning drivers. The 2013 Accord also received the best possible five-star crash test rating from the NHTSA and the new Top Safety Pick + ranking from the IIHS.

Alec Gutierrez, an analyst for Kelley Blue Book, told InAutoNews.com, “Camry has lost a bit of its luster this year. If I had to pick one rival for segment champion this year, it would be Accord. That’s the one to watch in 2013.”
