top 5 Best selling Cars of all time

Success in car industry is measured only through results of sale,

although in the last decade this criterion started to lose value as

well. Increased competition and lowered profitability resulted in

continuous losses per sold car recorded by the leading car makers.

It was caused by multiple reasons – from expensive labor and costs

of restructuring to manufacturing deficiencies caused by trying to

present the whole range of new cars as soon as possible, which

inevitably led to many withdrawals and expensive corrections of the

cars. Still, some cars gained the buyers’ trust all around the

world. Different generations of cars such as Toyota Corolla,

Volkswagen Golf or Honda Civic became more and more popular and

sold in higher quantities.

1. Toyota Corolla




The making of Corolla started in 1966 when Japanese manufacturer

decided to present a small compact car which integrates quality,

style and cost-effectiveness of more prestigious models. During 40

years Corolla had as many as nine generations, and in 1997 it was

the best selling car of all time. To the present day more than 35

million vehicles were sold and we can expect it to stay on the top

in the future.

2. Ford - F series



It is almost unbelievable that the second ranked in total sale is a

pick-up vehicle. Even more impressive information is that this

vehicle reached such a score only on North American territory.

However, the most surprising is the fact that Ford’s F series is at

present the best selling car in the world. Every year Ford sells

almost a million cars, that is almost one vehicle every 30 seconds.

So far, 25 million vehicles of the F series were sold.



3. Volkswagen Golf




hird ranked is second of two Volkswagens - Golf, which gained in

popularity on a global scale through five generations, and to the

present more than 24 million cars have been sold. The latest

Volkswagen generation will once more try to win the American

market, and its advantage is the fact that the American buyers are

more and more oriented towards buying more cost-effective cars.

Golf has been produced since 1974, and its sports GTI version

recently celebrated its 30th birthday.



4. Volkswagen Beetle



Volkswagen’s Beetle is the best selling car in history. Legend has

it that Adolf Hitler himself drew its legendary shape on a paper

towel. During almost 60 years, the incredible 21,529,464 Beetles

were produced, which is particularly significant when taking into

account the fact that during 60 years the Beetle had the same car

body, with some mechanical changes. The original form of the Beetle

was produced until 2003, when the last car left the Volkswagen

factory in Mexico.
