Carmakers got a great holiday gift this year as consumers took advantage of low interest rates, cheap gas prices put more money in consumers’ pockets and the overall U.S. economy remained strong. According to a recent AP story on the 2014 U.S. sales numbers, Fiat Chrysler led the way, selling just over 2 million cars and trucks for a 16 percent increase over 2013. It was the company's best year since 2006. Nissan and Honda also reported gains in December with both Japanese automakers setting sales records.
Here’s a list of the top selling vehicles, the number sold and the percent change in sales from 2013:
