With the 2007 over, it is time to see which models had the most sales. The Auto Channel reported that for the 31st straight year, the Ford F-Series is the best selling vehicle in the United States with sales reaching 796,039 units.  This just shows that there are still a lot of American consumers who buy large vehicles.

 

Here’s the list of the top twenty top selling vehicles last year.
1.    F-Series- 690,589  
2.    Silverado-C/K Pickup- 618,257  
3.    Camry -3,108

That list also shows that Japanese automakers are still eating into the market share of American automakers.  With the price of fuel steadily increasing, it is only obvious that buyers will go for smaller and more fuel efficient vehicles.  It just so happens that Japanese automakers have been making and manufacturing small vehicles with great fuel efficiency.

American automakers though are also making steps towards the development of green vehicles.  The Ford Escape Hybrid is the first hybrid SUV and is an example of how the automaker is seriously considering manufacturing green vehicles.  General Motors on the other hand will be soon offering the first full size SUVs with hybrid powertrains in the form of the Chevy Silverado Hybrid.  It is also interesting to note that no European made cars made it to the list.   That fact is not surprising though as we all know that for the most part, European cars are expensive and with the state of our economy, less consumers will be  able to afford them.
