That's wierd, I don't see the Pontiac Montana SV6, Chevrolet Malibu, Buick Lucerne, Ford Five Hundred, or Chrysler Pacifica...

Sorry, had to say it. It's just that we all wonder why the (Not so) "Big 3" are in the hole.

No Honda/Acura in the list....

That IS wierd!

xA?

According to that list, xA's must be flying off the lots...but I hardly see any on the road. In fact, lately I've been wondering if they were selling poorly compared to the tC and xB. Guess I was wrong.

Congrats to Scion having the whole family on the list.

Scion wants to sell only 100,000-150,000 cars a year between all 3 models, to keep them unique and popular in demand; by comparison, the Camry sold almost 500,000 units last year.

I'm suprised to see that Ford's pride and joy Fusion isn't on there. It's sad though. All the Scions used to be within the top 5! Oh well. Can't last forever.

I believe the Fusion did not pass the crash test or something like that. Only time I see Fusions on the road are tourists in rental cars.

Most Impressive IMHO is the Range Rover Sport. Its amazing that a 65,000 dollar truck can fly off the lot that fast. Suprised not to see the Lexus Is300 or 250 on the list. Still 8 out of 12 ain't bad.

You're right, it is pretty amazing to see such an expensive SUV on there. Just remember, it is a brand new model and most were pre-ordered I'm sure. Think of it as Ford's ticket into the top 12 units.
