The 20 Top-selling Cars in US

The following is a list produced by Reuters of the 20 Top-selling vehicles through October of 2008 in the United States. Topping the list are Ford F-Series pickups followed by the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. Chevy and Honda seem to own the list so far with four entries each. Also, judging by the list the impact of rising gas prices and a struggling economy has given way to an increase in consumers buying more fuel-efficient, reliable, commuter or economy cars.

Jim Henry of Businessweek mentions that the Ford F-150 has been in a four year nosedive while the Ford Focus has had to fight its way onto the list since last fall. The Toyota Camry could soon top the list if the F-150 continues to plummet in sales, as people go for more reliable cars.
