Down 3% isn't bad when the average was off over 30%. Good job Ford!

Of the top 20, it was EASILY down the least from the same period last year.

What rank does everyone think the Malibu would be if there was no Impala?

Or if Impala drastically shifted its place in the marketplace so that it wasn't in direct competition with the Malibu? Jesus, I wish that car would've gone through...

I'm dissapointed with Malibu sales. Gm should be too, there's no reason that car shouldnt be in the top ten. With good marketing and hopefully a few awards the new equinox might be sitting right where the escape is sitting this year. I diffinitly see the seirra falling from the top 20. I notice the hhr has fallen, of they aren't going to update it maybe it should be dropped after 2010. It's been a better seller than they thought but retro is out and boxes are in.

I'm sickened by the number of imports above domestic cars. Does anyone know why Camry/Solara and Corolla/Matrix get combined? The Corolla and Matrix pairing are really not making sense to me at all!

I think the official names are Camry Solara and Corolla Matrix which is why they get included together.

The Solara is the 2-door version of the Camry. That makes a little more sense.

However, the Matrix is the cousin of the Pontiac Vibe. It may be based on the Corolla, but that's like combining the sales of the old Astro and Blazer. It doesn't make sense...one is a 7-passenger van and the other is a 5-passenger SUV. The Matrix is kind of a quasi-crossover with a hatch, and the 'Rolla is a 4-door sedan.

I'm not sure I'd go with the Astro and Blazer analogy as those aren't platform mates. The Matrix is essentially a Corolla wagon. They share just about everything except the actual body. They're on the same wheelbase and use the same powertrains.

Nonetheless, I do think the main reason that they lump it in is to boost Corolla numbers.

I had no idea that the Matrix (and therefore the Vibe) shared so much with the Corolla. If platform-mates can share in these numbers, I would expect them to list Malibu-G6-Aura and Cobalt-G5

And politicians keep saying that Americans don't want trucks, they want fuel efficient cars. Yet two of the top 3 and 3 of the top 10 best selling cars are American company trucks. I'm confused...
