Toyota, Ford Both Claim World’s Top-Selling Car — So Who’s Right?
Posted in: Uncategorized
Toyota and Ford have something in common: They’re both laying claim to making the world’s best-selling car.
Earlier this month, Toyota said its Corolla held the title, while Ford says the Ford Focus is the winner. Which model really holds bragging rights depends on which data you’re using. Toyota says Ford’s count is skewed because it’s based on a statistical sample; Ford says Toyota’s tally is inflated because it counts Corolla models marketed under different names.
Ford fired the first shot when it issued a press release April 9 declaring Focus the “world’s best-selling passenger car.” Citing global market registration data from R.L. Polk & Co., Ford said it sold 1,020,410 of the compact cars in 2012.
