The production of the car has spread all over the world, from the USA and Europe to Russia.

This machine company has the following achievements in its track record:

• Quantity of copies - over 18 million cars.

The machine has an attractive exterior, is compact, equipped with a powerful and unpretentious power unit. Now the manufacturing company is thinking about the revival of thismodifications. The designers face one dilemma - how to fit it into competition with another "hit" car ("Ford Focus").

Volkswagen Beetle

The number of sales of this machine testifies to its huge popularity (more than 21.5 million copies). The release of the vehicle lasted from 1938 to 2003. During this period, seven generations were developed.

The name Beetle ("Beetle") is optimal for this car. In addition, he is a real record holder among the best car companies (the world's first car to overcome the sales of 20 million milestone). It is worth noting that for 65 years the design of the body has not changed much. The last original Beetle rolled off the assembly line in Mexico in 2003. However, its updated version is being sold, the release of which began in 1997. During this time, three generations have already been born.

Short statistics on this car:

• The number of samples released is over 34 million.
• The period of issue is from 1948 to the present day.

Which car companies producing "pickup trucks" can boast such success? Most likely, the popularity of this "workhorse" is due to the irresistible craving of Americans for powerful modifications. The F-series is almost never sold outside of North America, while being the second most popular passenger car. Every year the company sells more than one million "pickup trucks" in various modifications. This indicates that every half a minute one copy of the Ford F-series is sold in Canada, Mexico or America.

Toyota Corolla

The leader among the brands and models of machines is the unit from Japanese manufacturers. The best-selling car has been produced so far, since 1966. Engineers have implemented an innovative idea that combines the compactness, style and power of expensive analogues. This concept turned out to be very successful. In this regard, the Toyota Corolla remains in the lead as the most massive car.
