After a one-month stand as the most commonly researched vehicle on GoodCarBadCar, the BMW 3-Series finished May 2016 as the eighth-most-popular vehicle on the site. The Honda Civic, America’s best-selling car in April 2016, led all vehicle sales tracking pages in traffic.
Our review of the 2015 GMC Sierra’s 6.2L V8 engine continues to be more frequently read than any other review on the site, including newer additions such as the Volvo XC90 and the Ford F-150 2.7L.
U.S. Auto Sales Brand Rankings – April 2016 YTD
The U.S. brand-by-brand auto sales recap posted at the beginning of May was the most popular April 2016-related sales article on the site over the course of May. During a month in which the traditionally best-selling Toyota Camry was knocked off its perch, our list of America’s 20 best-selling cars was the second-most-popular article on GCBC.
Year-over-year, the number of visits to GoodCarBadCar.net rose 20% in May 2016. 62% of the site’s visits come from the United States; another 15% from Canada. Visits from the UK jumped 68%.
Automobile manufacturers will begin reporting their May 2016 U.S. and Canadian sales figures on Wednesday, June 1, 2016. GoodCarBadCar will be updated throughout the day with brand results from automakers competing in the United States and Canada. Later on Tuesday afternoon, May U.S. best seller lists for cars and trucks and SUVs will be published, as well, followed by Canadian best seller lists.
As always, sales figures for all manufacturers, makes, and models will be updated in GCBC’s free searchable database of historical monthly and yearly sales data. For non-mobile users (or mobile users who have opted to view the full site by selecting that option at the bottom of the page), you can also select a vehicle, a brand, a manufacturer, or total industry figures in a dropdown menu near the top right of this page.
