Top 10 Vehicles Sold in 2014?
Top 10 Vehicles Sold in 2014?
Care to take a stab at predicting the future? 
Five years from now, by 2014, which vehicles do you think will make up the top 10 cars sold in the U.S?
Think about the trends in function, gas mileage, economy, redesigns, new cars, discontinued cars, car companies that may go under, popularity, warranties, etc.
Car companies need to consider the possibility of such changes. Their decisions within the next few years will determine their successes in the long-term future. Their successes depend on their predictions of changes and trends in the market.
Make your list. DISCUSS.

My predicted Top Ten by 2014:
1) Toyota Camry : will be up for a redesign, and will continue to be popular
2) Honda Accord : will be redesigned and remain popular.
3) Honda Civic : will overtake the Corolla as the compact king
4) Toyota Corolla : will still be popular and affordable
5) Ford F150 : less pick-up sales, but will remain functional
6) Chevy Silverado : same as the F150, less but functional
7) Toyota Prius : a huge jump due to better technology and efficiency. Plug in availability?
8) Honda CR-V : best crossover in the market; will probably upgrade with V6 or hybrid?
9) Nissan Altima : it'll be due for a redesign, so it'll be popular
10) Hyundai Sonata : continues to crawl up in popularity
And I believe that most of the noted cars above will have hybrid variants by 2014...

3. Toyota Prius
4. Toyota Camry
5. Honda Accord
6. Ford F-series
7. Nissan Altima
8. Chevy Silverado
9. Honda Fit
10. Toyota Yaris
Reason behind my ranking: Gas price will be around $5/gallon at year 2014 so people will have no choice but to go small.

Has GM said how many units they anticipate selling in the first year and if that's a demand or supply generated number?

I think all cars by then will (have) to be electric because there will be no oil left in the world by then. And hopefully we will not be using nuclear power because it's too.. bad?
Instead we should be using wave and tidal power, because we can make endless and exactly the amount of electricity we need/want - without limitations. So plugging in your electric car (millions of people) won't destroy the power plant.
edit: oh and it's free and non polluting

That means I am also very happy to hear about electric vans
