Yep Malibu/G6 are combined in the way the Taurus/Sable used to be and Fusion/Milan/Zephyr are now. Both GM/F are likely running up to 30-40% in fleet sales while Toyota is in the 10% range and Honda in the single digits.
 
Each manufacturer reports the month-end and YTD sales by nameplate and then by model as well, but they don't break out fleet sales. I got these off each's website. GM, Toyota and Honda. I forgot to get the Ford numbers.

I think KDH got his figure from the same press released you've posted.
YTD for Corolla is 49,978 up 0.6 YTD but down 3.5 for the month of February , 2006.

Oh, I just noticed I was looking at the North American built vehicles. (Bottom of the list)

I've been looking at both these cars and can't seem to decide between the two. Anyone else already made the decision, if so would you say why you picked one over the other.
I see in some past posts there were some older model comparisons.
thanks

And that's fine. It's time for it to wake up!
 
Do you have any feedback for tnltnl on the cars?

Not exactly the same, but I looked at Civic LX vs. Corolla S. I ended up picking the Civic LX. Personally, I felt that the Civic has a better/quieter engine with good smooth acceleration. Test drove on bumpy road was quieter on the civic than the corolla. It felt like the Corolla was working too hard when trying to get on the highway. Comparing just horse power alone, i think the civic is 140 hp and the Corolla is 129hp.
 
For about $2000-$3000 more to get the Civic, you also get ABS and side air bags that aren't standard on the Corollas. This results in better safety, and cheaper auto insurance especially considering the Corollas received a poor rating on side crash tests on models without side air bags. I can't say much about the interior, but the civic has telescoping steering wheels while the corolla receives poor feedback with steering wheel comfortable position. The sound system was too quiet on the Corolla in my opinion. They both have six speakers and comparable power in watts, the Civic has speed sensing volume control (meaning if you accelerate on the highway, the radio volume will adjust to the speed under the assumption that your car gets louder when on the highway). EX also comes with optional navigation system if that's something you want. Hope that helps!

We also tested both vehicles and settled on the Corolla S. My wife is getting 30 + mph all city driving. The ride and power is just fine for her needs.

Drive them both. For me, the seating position in the Corolla is AWFUL (i'm well over 6') whereas the Civic was just fine. The Corolla's steering wheel seemed much too far away to me.
 
Also, the Corolla engine, while adequate, seems a little buzzy compared to the smoother Civic. (My girlfriend has a 2004 Corolla that I end up driving regularly. Her Corolla has several rattles from all around the interior - including the sunroof, the dome light, wind noise entering around the passenger door).
 
I'd wait and see the 2008 Corolla before I made a purchase. That way, you can either wait and get the new improved model, or get a screaming deal on the current (then outgoing) model.
 
The Corolla leaves me tepid, while the Civic is a hot car for the money.
