Hmm. This list doesn’t seem very accurate.
What’s up with the security code? Sometimes I put the right code in and it doesn’t work. Anyone else having this problem???

Chevy Impala (90,312) + Malibu (61,503) = 151,815. Chevy actually comes out on top on car sales, as Chevy puts out 2 midsized vehicles, Malibu is 101 cu. ft, and Impala is 104 cu. ft. Toyota’s midsize would in reality not be the best selling.

I’m amazed how Ford’s Freestlye (Ford’s minivan) doesn’t even show up. Minivan buyers must like traditional minivans. Ford and Nissan missensed what customers really wanted in a minivan… a plain ol’ minivan like the Dodge Caravan.

the ford freestyle doesnt show because its just a slightly disguised windstar. or freestar. whatever the hell the last for minivan was, they just put in a new interior and front end and called it new. noone wants it.
and they still make the econoline?

#3, unfortunately your data is also wrong. BMW is mising in your “luxury brand division”.
So it goes:
BMW group is first with 101.151, Lexus 93.056, MB 72512 and so on.
But your list is a nice work.

And Manny, you would be wrong. The Freestyle is on the Five Hundred/Volvo S80 platform.
It doesn’t sell because it looks boring as hell (Explorer-lite) and it’s rarely advertised.
Taurus is still selling because it’s effectively fleet-only. I’d imagine it doesn’t sell to that many private buyers. Impala and Malibu end up in a lot of fleets, but I think they have a larger private-to-fleet ratio.
