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. And Manny, you would be wrong. The Freestyle is on the Five Hundred/Volvo S80 platform.

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. #3, unfortunately your data is also wrong.

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.

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.

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??? Hmm. This list doesn’t seem very accurate.
