Best car year since 2007 in U.S.

The last year for U.S. auto sales best since 2007.
There were nearly 14.5 million quadricycles sold, an increase of 14 percent compared to 2011. Reason enough to look for what cars are.

In Europe we are not used to a sale without German top ten brands, but in America can best. Indeed, even in the top twenty is not a European brand to be seen. The body styles of the thriving models are completely different from what we are used to the blockbusters.

Instead of hatchbacks and station wagons Americans prefer to buy a sedan or a pickup. For most people, no news, but it makes for a special top ten.

Light trucks
Many U.S. sales lists distinguish between 'cars' and 'light trucks', but there are also a lot that everything sweeping. That we have done but also, especially since the average pick-up there just as car is used. Additionally dominate 'trucks' sales lists, so omitting would be very biased.

On a back of some vengeance: the Ford F-series. All attempts to the Fiesta and Focus in America to sell them despite this remains on top and U.S. unit with incredible lead the best-selling model.

Chevrolet
At an appropriate distance follows the main competitor of the F: the Chevrolet Silverado. Recently a new model, so may know the Chevy this year behind what smaller.

In third place we find the first "normal" car, the Toyota Camry. This is also quite traditional, because the sedans from Toyota and Honda always score high in the States. The Accord also kicks it to the fourth place, followed by little brother Civic.

Honda it since the disappearance of the Civic Hybrid in the Netherlands than pretty hard, but the chances are that they say in Japan at the sight of this list not much care. Also in the case of the Civic is of course to a sedan, whether or not as a hybrid. We also supply the Japanese have a coupe, a body style that we Europeans since the beginning of this century to miss the compact Japanese.

Lower half
that brings us to the bottom half of the list. The Nissan Altima is like the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord sedan American here in the biggest half of the D-segment would fall. In 2012 a completely new model launched.
After the Altima follows a pick-up, this time from the other American group, the Dodge Ram. Like the Ford and Chevrolet car in the Netherlands regularly in the driveway of a contractor is found, but also for "normal" people a calibrated choice.

After this little interlude followed again two Japanese American: the Toyota Corolla and Honda CR-V. The Corolla is the same model used in Europe for a while beside the Auris has been available. We close the list with the Ford Escape, the car with us Kuga will be called.
