1. IS TOYOTA CAMRY AND NOT COROLLA...BIGGEST SELLER IN USA.
2. F - SERIES TRUCK AT NO. 2 ??? I AM NOT SO SURE...WHERE IS THAT COMING FROM..AUTOCAR, JD POWER LIST...OR ITS JUST THAT THE WRITER AT REDIFF LIKED IT...ITS S SIMPLE CROSS CHASSIS PICK UP WITH A BIG ENGINE !!!
3. GOLF...yes its the best when it comes to a GTI engine...and currently its running in fifth generation with a new designed scheduled for a late 2008/early 2009 launch.
4. Beetle !!! the bug lost its sales speed by the end of late 70,s ... what are u on about ???
5. Writers biggest joke is FORD ESCORT !!! FORD stands for FIXED OR REPAIRED DAILY. In europe people think 10 times befofre buying a 5th hand escort even. They are such poor cars that ford stopped selling them in US and Europe markets after 96, when they first made their debut in India.
6. YES Honda Civis is a brilliant everyday car. and it is not in same category as Corolla. If you compare on engine size, why dont you compare it to a 95 Volkswagen Jetta and i'll see whose trailing the smoke.
7. Model T....yeah why dont you but it.
8. Nissan Sunny on position 7 ? what happened to the likes of BMW 3 series, Peugeot 106, Suzuki Swift, MG Rover 200, Chevrolet Camry, Renault Clio etc...
9. Passat. The brand ambassador in sedan segment for VW car of the year 3 years in a row finds itself at end of list?
10. Lada !!! Lada !!! seriously...you must be kidding the only time I have ever seen that car is in films when somebody goes to russia.

There are many mistakes in YOUR 'predictions':
1. The Camry is the largest selling car of TOYOTA in the US but the Corolla is the largest selling car in the WORLD.
2. The VW Beetle is still selling in good numbers. In Singapore, you can see atleast 1 daily.
3. Honda Civic is on par with the Corolla and was designed as a rival
4. Model T was the largest selling car at it's time
5. Yes, Nissan Sunny is on the 7th position as it can be seen anywhere (Singapore, Malaysia, UAE, Qatar, Oman, US, UK) and I think it is one of Nissan's largest selling cars. And what are you asking about CHEVROLET CAMRY?!
6. Of course, the Passat is a beautiful car but it does not sell as much as a Corolla...

The world's 10 best-selling cars ever.
i.e of all the cars being sold at this moment these are the top 10 ever..thats what the title means.
Jaichand I dont which school did you go to but if you have ever studied english then the title is misleading...and according to the list there are a few cars which i am highly doubtly about !!!
F series are not that old and dont rake up so much volume in sales.
Passat was launched barely 5 years ago and aint that big in terms of sales.
If you talk in volumes even hyundai ranks 5th in world due to huge sales in asia and africa.
So before you open your trap..shut up and do som e research.

Idiot you are the biggest joker of this country.........the article takes abt Ford Endeavour and not ford escort..... have u ever driven that vehicle.........dont think u can ever...its nt meant for jokers.
My family have had the privelege of owning and using cars from various countries.In the Saloon cars, in my experience Euopean cars like Merc, BMW, VW,Renault, Lamborgiini and Fiat are definitely the best in engineering, style, power, performance ( Maybe not necessarily in mileage).The American cars like Ford, GM, Daimler come next. The Japanese cars are basically for mass consumption. They are rolled out of the production lines for a different segment of buyers.You will see in Africa and ME most of the cars vsold are the Japanese. In Africa leading is Toyota. Then come Nissan, Suzuki,Mitsubishi and Honda. Mind you Honda is last. Cars from Hyundai and Daewoo do not count much.
In the 4WD nothing to beat the Toyota Prado which I own now. They are th best and largest selling. Then comes the Nissan Petrol,Then the JEEP from Chrysler and Galloper from Hyundai.
In Pickups it is again Toyota leading,the comes Isuzi, Nissan, Ford etc.
Presently I own the latest 9th generation model of Toyota Corolla also apart from PRADO and this car is just amazing. It has the new generation VVTi engine for high performance. The toyota launched in India is about 3-4 years behind those launched in Europe and USA and available in Africa.
