And The Most Sold Car In The World Is...
The Toyota Corolla. Over the last 45 years Japanese car maker Toyota have manufactured a record 32 Million Cars! It's always been a small family car. Cheap to buy and cheap to run worked well for Toyota over the last 45 years, and even with all the problems with the car industry at the moment, don't expect to hear of this little record breakers reign coming to an end anytime soon.
1. Toyota Corolla: (1966- ) - 32,000,000+

I was the same with the Land Cruiser, still popular cars will stay around for years. I can't see BMW changing the name of the 3,5 or 7 series anytime soon (if ever) so expect them to jump up there in the next 10 years.
I am sorry that I can't say anything positve about the cars on this list.
Apparently, the world loves cars that are dogs.
Interesting list.
strange list...
just because a car has the same NAME for many years, its not the same car.
it would be a lot more interesting to know how many of the same type that been made. the list would be totally different then.
If it has the same name then it is the same car, it's just a different mark. i.e a Mark 1 Golf and a Mark 2 Golf are the same car, but differnet versions.
Awesome list!
i love old and clasic car and hope can have each of the above
man the pontiac grand am is the car to have. I remeber when my parents had one. It's a very stable car.
Great shots and list!
Thanks for another great hub.The Corolla is very popular in Australia. We have had many models, some good , some not so good. They all suffered from rust, and the new model is a dog to drive by comparison with other small modern cars. The list is great, and goes to show that the public wouldn't know if they were driving a good car or a certified lemon!
I have owned a Camaro when I was young, A Galant when I became a mommy and now we own??? Well I will never tell however this hub is quite impressive, great work.:)
Ihave owned many cars altho they were all american made and named The one I liked the most were the Buick Lesabre and the Buick Park Avenue When they Stoped making the Lesabra I was Sick That was a big mistake of General Motors.
Thats sure a list of through the ages. We wonder so much what the next 50 years will be like. No Doubt todays Techology and Cars will be prehistoric in 50 years.
Wow, F-Series has sold more than 30 million? Nice hub.

A very nicely compiled list.
Man the Chevy Camaro has come a long way,had one in high school good to see it's making a comeback!Love the new design.
I have to say there were some surprises on this list to me.
Very interesting list, i have owned a couple and wished i had owned a couple more.
Some of these I have never heard of or seen. Maybe they were never sold in the USA. Model T is still in the top 10 all these years later...wow.
This would be great information for car dealers to know. Especially the ones closer to the bottom of this list. If a dealer was selling a car that was in the top 10 it would be a great selling point to the customer.
nice list i think i had several on that list over the years... hehe for fun you should compare that with the most stolen list.
i think the ford focus is very nice car fuel consumption put into consideration
I was surprised not to see any jeeps on the list. Cherokee or Wrangler, or the old Willys.
I think the corolla is highly overrated... why so many people purchased it is beyond me.
Interesting list. A lot of these cars were only sold overseas. I guess quantity does not equal quality.
There were over 5 million Model A Fords Made between December 1927 and November 1931. No other car on this list (Except possibly the Model T) can boast such a claim so in so few a years.
As a restorer and owner of one, it is amazing that there are still so many on the road today. TRuly one of the best cars of all time.
Fantastic..! Simply the best list i've ever seen..
I purchased a 2009 Fully Loaded Corolla LEX last year...and I absolutely love my car...it's great on gas...great price...rides smooth on the interstate and is safe for me and my baby girl!! I don't know much about cars and I am not going to pretend to...but I love my Toyota Corolla! It's awesome to see my car on the list at #1.
Awesome list .... Great hub ... .
keep up the good work ....
I'm surprised the BMW 3-series is so low on the list - seems like it sells like wildfire the world over. I personally hate the Toyota Corolla - I think it's underpowered, noisy and has a ton of vibration, and would take a Civic or even my Saturn Ion any day. But a lot of people like it for some reason. The Honda Civic, on the other hand, kills it. Always feels smooth and powerful, and handles well and rides nicely. It's still like a poor man's BMW.
I'm glad that one of the cars I drove in Kenya - the Peugeot 504 finds a place in this list, even if it's second last. I have even slept in the station wagon - fully stretched out.
Great list! I actually own one of them. I'm in the top ten! Cool list, thanks again
I got a 1973 Volkswagen Beetle- #3 best selling year of the #4 best selling car of all time. Be ready though, the Type 1 is coming back the way you remember it- rear engine, aircooled, no frils, super easy to work on, and downright cheap. Additionally, it will have the same exact exterior design. Can't wait.
wow nice post..keep on posting!!!!!!!!!!check out my blog on cars at http://car-gizmos.blogspot.com
This is quite a list. I am surprised by the number of Ford vehicles on the list. Imagine what this list might look like in 50 years or so. Wonder if any hybrid vehicles will make the list then?
Wow great list, toyota sold that many corolla's i thought it would have been volkswagen with the golf.
Nice post. I have owned a F150, Corolla, Golf, and now a Civic.

Who knew! Especially interesting are the older cars. Not many choices in those days I guess. I had no idea the Toyota Land Cruiser was so old.
Good fun, thanks.
