Grand Prix 6,501

W body total: 39,015

TL 6,767
Accord 29,623

Honda Total: 36,390

Altima 23,790
Maxima 6,376

Nissan Total: 30,496

ES 300 (I) 4,231
Avalon 8,697
Camry (w/ Solara) 38,981 (wow!!!)

Toyota Total: 51,909

the camry alone sold as many as their main competitors' whole larger family/FWD entry-lux car platforms did. that's simply amazing, and the solara hasn't even joined the updated platform yet, and neither has the ES IIRC. nice to see that the W-bodies do compare well when all put together (even though they have like 30% fleet sales while none of the japanese makes are above 15%). and for all those who say Impala+MC=Camry+Solara... ummm...nope (it's not even enough to catch up with the Accord). and they're both pretty much brand new redesigns, so that's about as fair as you're gonna get.
