Interesting......I would have expected the Prius to be on that list. Since the car is so complex and difficult to produce, perhaps Toyota simply cannot produce them in the numbers needed for this list. either way, We know that currently demand exceeds supply...top 20 or not.

I cannot believe Toyota might have the top 2 CARS! That is a HUGE deal, that was previously only Accord/Camry/Taurus territory. I think the new Corolla is damn ugly, but its a good size, good power, great fit and finish and people trust the name "Corolla"
Ford still has 6 on the list!!!
Its amazing how many of those products we woudn't touch are on that list.
And yearh, Sexy is right, Toyota can't build enough Prius yet to meet demand

Now...as for the F-150 and Silverado.....barring a really extreme event in the auto and truck world, forget about seeing them bumped out of first and second-place anytime soon. They are the classic cowboy and farm vehicles, and untold millions of Americans, especially in rural areas, are addicted to them. The Tundra and Titan will make some inroads as the Dodge Ram has in the last decade.........especially if the Tundra ever finally becomes a TRUE full sizer (it STILL is a mid-sizer with a V8)........but Ford and Chevy will rule the pickup roost for some years to come.

Note: Mini sales are included in BMW GROUP. Mini is a separate brand name and is not considered a luxury vehicle. Including the Mini and Rolls Royce in the BMW sales tally would be like Lexus including Toyota and Scion in their total sales.
