Jazzbass 1 Report post Posted September 24, 2006 Most popular vehicles according to wikipedia.org: 1 Toyota Corolla 2 Ford F-series (trucks) 3 Volkswagen Golf 4 Volkswagen Beetle 5 Ford Escort 6 Honda Civic 7 Ford Model T 8 Nissan Sunny/Sentra/Pulsar 9 Volkswagen Passat 10 Lada Riva That is so cool - the Lada in 10th place. I'd be highly offended in BMW got on such a list.... I don't want a 'popular' car - that means the hoi polloi drive them... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ED1RTY 2 Report post Posted September 24, 2006 Haha yea good point about the hoi polloi! Was reading in CAR magazine that the Toyota is the fastest selling on the market but the F series trucks have sold the most units but took longer to do so, making them less popular??

Jazzbass 1 Report post Posted September 24, 2006 I guess the trucks shows just what impact the large market that is USA has on the world. Will Rover be on the list next, considering how large the Chinese market is? China's SAIC to debut Rover clone Rover technology will live on in SAIC's new model. China's largest carmaker, Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp, has said it will produce its first car based on Rover technology by the end of 2006. SAIC said it would announce a name for the new car, based on technology used in Rover's 75, next month. The firm lost out to Nanjing Automobile in a bid for the collapsed MG Rover Group last year, but acquired the copyright for its 75 and 25 models. Earlier this week US motor giant Ford bought the Rover name from BMW. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
