As Autoblog states, “Toyota’s Corolla – the best selling car in the history of the world – has reportedly taken the crown,” outselling “the long-in-the-tooth Ford Focus” under the government’s trade-in program. “Ford’s price leader drops to number two and the Honda Civic has shifted into third place. Toyota has two other cars rounding out the top five, the Prius and the Camry.”
