Camry- 309,876 (up 6%).
Accord-162,723 (down 18%)
Malibu- 117,319
Altima- 113,898
Sonata- 69,343
K5-46,311

Toyota absolutely nailed the Camry. Accord went from selling 1-1 to nearly 2-1 in favor of the Camry which is insane to me.
Malibu and Altima are being discontinued but sell better than the Sonata and K5 combined. Sonata sales did jump like 55%

I read that Honda claims that Accord sales are down on purpose, as they retool the Ohio plant for EV production, but reviewers are skeptical.

For the last 15 years it goes like this in their press release
Sales up “the market loves what we have done with the car and we have supply ready for people”
Sales down “we have supply issues and we are buying our employees new boots the don’t come in for 6 months”

Honda Accord sales peaked in 2016 and have plummeted. The new Accoed has dropped every year.

It's idiotic that Chevy and Nissan are discontinuing their midsize cars. Same with Ford discontinuing them.

Maybe they did not want to update. The Malibu is ~10years old now. Altima is also old. Ford has been gone a few years now.

Maybe Nissan is getting sick of all the unpaid loans and the cars that get severely damaged or even totaled before they are able to tow them back from the Big Altima Energy crowd. Plus heavily relying on discounts and incentives to move their cars ain't exactly a sustainable long term strategy for a crippled brand like Nissan.
