Best-selling car: Camry
Best-selling car: Camry
Like the F-150, the Camry has become a perennial winner, landing the spot of "Best selling car" with 2008 sales of 436,617, according to Edmunds.com. That includes the Camry Hybrid and the two-door Solara,. It's won this race for ten of the last 11 years. (The Honda Accord took the crown eight years ago.)

In many ways, the Camry's run is even more impressive than that of the F-series. Buyers have plenty of mid-size cars to choose from, including the Honda Accord, Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Malibu. But the Camry has become the default, idiot-proof choice among American car buyers. Those who don't know the first thing about cars know that, at the very least, they're getting a good, dependable vehicle in the Camry.

That's what every one of its competitors is up against. You don't just have to make a better car, you have to get thousands of skeptical Americans to believe you and put their hard-earned cash on the line. At best, it's going to take a long time for anyone to knock the Camry off this perch.
