Most Popular Cars in the Last 10 Years

What’s the most popular car in America?
You might be surprised because it’s not a car, it’s a truck. And not only is it a truck, it’s been the same truck for the past 10 years – the Ford F-150. Which proves that the Ford Motor Company must be doing something right.The list of most popular (best selling) cars in America in the last 10 years includes a mix of trucks, sedans and SUVs. Which is no surprise considering that more than 500 different makes and models can be found traversing the highways and byways of America. What’s interesting is how little the list has changed in the past 10 years. It seems like once Americans find a model they like, they remain loyal to it year in and year out.
