Think You Know the World’s Best Selling Car?
What do you think is the world’s best selling car of all time?
Volkswagen Beetle? Mini perhaps? You’d be wrong on both counts - infact the Mini doesn’t even make it into the top ten. No... the best selling car of all time is.... the Toyota Corolla. So many have been sold that, since its introduction in the 60’s, one has been sold every 40 seconds.
Ok, so that may seem remarkable enough but I’ll bet you’re thinking “Fair enough - but second has to be the Beetle”. Well, I’m afraid you’re wrong again. Not only are you wrong on the make of car, but you’re also wrong in thinking it might actually be a car. Because it’s not a car, it’s a truck.
Yes, the Ford F Series pick up truck is the second best selling ‘car’ of all time.
The poor Beetle only comes in a lowly 4th, after its better selling sister the Golf. And you have to look all the way down to 8th place to find the all time icon, the Ford Model T.
Here’s the top ten list:
1. Toyota Corolla (1966 - present )
Sales: 37.5 million
2. Ford F-Series (1948 - present )
Sales: 35 million
3. Volkswagen Golf (1974 - present )
Sales: 27.5 million
4. Volkswagen Beetle (1933 - 2003)
Sales: 23.5 million
5. Ford Escort (1968 - 2000)
Sales: 20 million
6. Honda Civic (1972 - present )
Sales: 18.5 million
7. Honda Accord (1976 - present)
Sales: 17.5 million
8 Ford Model T (1908 - 1927)
Sales: 16.5 million
9. Volkswagen Passat (1973 - present)
Sales: 15.5 million
10. Chevy Impala (1958 – present)
