However, consistently near the top of the lists for 2000 sales in the US (the most common metric used) were the:
* Toyota Camry: This consistently ranks highly in sales year after year and was likely a top contender in 2000.
* Honda Accord: Similar to the Camry, the Accord is a perennial best-seller and was probably also among the top sellers in 2000.
* Ford F-Series: While a truck, the Ford F-Series (which includes various models like the F-150) consistently holds a top spot in overall vehicle sales in the US. Whether it topped car sales specifically would depend on the source and how "car" is defined (excluding trucks and SUVs).
To find the precise rankings for 2000, you'd need to consult automotive sales data archives from that year, likely from sources like industry publications or automotive news websites that specialize in historical data. Keep in mind the exact ranking could vary depending on the source and its methodology.
