Hottest Sedans, Trucks, and SUVs

Pickup trucks and SUVs continue to outsell sedans so far in 2024, with compact sedans such as the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic losing ground to crossovers and SUVs. Americans continue to look for utility vehicles with more cargo space than classic sedans. The sale of Tesla all-electric vehicles was lukewarm in the first quarter of the year; however, all hybrid and plug-in hybrid sales are up over last year. The major automakers such as General Motors, Ford, Toyota, and Honda are all up over the previous year.
