Just wondering if anyone know's a website which has a definitive collection of worldwide car sales statistics? I know there's vfacts for Australia, but i was thinking there might be one on global scale?

No doubt F-Series with USA sales alone would be up there also, and the camry. |

F-series was at one stage selling 1million a year, which was more than any other car Worldwide. With the GFC it dropped quite a bit, down to 600k at one year I think.

Corolla is the world's 'best selling car', but I assume that is because it's one of the longest-running globally-sold cars ever (if not THE longest).
In the UK, Ford seems to do bloody well with Focus and then Fiesta dominating sales. And who says the Poms are fools? :P

Still - over the past decade... me thinks it #1 would be a Toyota... most likely the Corolla...

Last year, in the US, F-150 sold 413,625 units. Camry "only" managed a paltry 356K. Autoblog

hehe... I'm picturing the movie "dawn of the dead". Imagine if all those "things" could drive cars! I feel that the Camry and Corolla would be best suited to their brain dead lifestyle! hehe ... eg: we don't want something too zippy cause we're a bit slow ...DEERRR!!!

To the Camry and Corolla's credit, they have really improved their interiors. The Corolla especially was boring as death. They've put a little more styling into it to actually bring it into this century.
They will always be conservative however. If I went Japanese, I would go Honda over Toyota because although they're still conservative, they have a little more style and the people I talk to love their car... But I'll stick with Australian anyway.
