Check out Top 20 Selling Cars

Top 20 Selling Cars

1) Honda Accord
2) Toyota Camry
3) Toyota Corolla
4) Chevrolet Impala
5) Nissan Altima
6) Honda Civic
7) Ford Focus
8) Ford Fusion
9) Toyota Prius
10) Hyundai Sonata
11) BMW 3-Series Coupe
12) Pontiac G6
13) Chevrolet Cobalt
14) Dodge Charger
15) Ford Mustang
16) Chrysler 300
17) Dodge Caliber
18) Chevrolet Malibu
19) BMW 3-Series Sedan
20) Mazda3


*Sales data shown is of top 10 selling cars and trucks as compiled by Autodata Corporation.

Whats interesting is that Half the cars on here have Sedans and Coupes that they group together.(Example:Honda Accord has a coupe and sedan. The ranking does not say Honda Accord Sedan, just Honda Accord and Im sure they also included the coupe in this figure) However, the 3series is the only series group they broke into Coupe and Sedan. Since 3series made the list twice apart, I wonder where they would rank together.

are these figures for the U.S. or worldwide, while it is great that so many think the 3 is a great car, im having trouble believing these figures, also it kind of loses its rarity if its true

the 3-series is anything but rare. It's almost a dime a dozen here.

+1. In L.A. 3 and 7 series are as common as Civics and Accords, if not more.

Considering the Auto grouping, It would have to be US...I just did a cut/paste from an online article. As far as the rarity, the Coupe is brand new and is going to have more orders/deliveries while fresh. Regardless, BMW like everything else in the world today is a mass market product.

Yeah, the streets are flooded with the sedans since they've been out for a minute.

Here in norcal, we usually only have sedans. The coupe population seems to be growing, but sedans are still dominant. Mostly driven by old people too. Not that i'm surprised though.

How was this ranking recorded? Of the amount of each model sold a year? Because I am sure there are definitely more 3 series sedans than 3 series coupes!

Yup, I have a very hard time believing that the coupe outsells the sedan. I think it would be more reasonable to believe if their relative positions on the list were in reverse order.

I don't. The Coupe is the way, the one, the only.

Personally, i'm a little pissed that the 3er is so popular. yea yea its a great car but its nice to have something that you don't see all over the place. When i buy a car, i want it to stand out, not blend in and just be looked at as "normal"
