This is the official list of the top-20 selling cars and trucks in the U.S. through March of
2005. Trucks are still the favorite, but it’s nice to see the Ford Mustang just cracking the list at number 20. Ford
can’t build enough of them. If there is one real change it is the amount of selection we have as consumers. The
proliferation of new models have sent the uber-sellers down in sales but up the list. For instance, the Chevy Impala
sold 11.4 percent less units, but moved up the rankings three spots. See the list at the link.
