what is the top selling brand then?

 

[John]

You thought ford was number one? They aren't even #1 in the US.

 

[synonymous]

Isn't Toyota the #1, or has the issue they had the last few years changed all that?

I never said that, I'm asking a damn question here son

Same way Nissan can get away with claiming they invented shit that has been in other cars for a few years. Nobody gives a **** enough to challenge it, and the lawyers are clever enough to word shit in such a way that it isn't technically a lie anyway.

For February 2013, Ford is the top selling brand in the US followed by Chevy, Toyota, Honda, Nissan.

Corporation sales: GM, Ford, Toyota, Chrysler, Honda.

Some of them use the registration data from the state, at least in the "longest lasting" ads.

The dealerships that put a big "#1" in front of their dealership names in ads and on car badges kind of annoy me.

Ford division sold more cars than anyone else in the US last year.

I believe it's called "math"

 

[John]

No they didn't. GM and Toyota sold more.

That ford brand or ford corp? How did various gm brands do?

By BRAND... not by manufacturer.

February 2013 U.S. Auto Sales Brand Rankings - GOOD CAR BAD CAR

Ford wins Feb 2013, and it's not even close. Toyota's third.

 

[KirbyJeep]

No they didn't. GM and Toyota sold more.

According to ANDC, Ford beat Toyota, but not GM.

 

[John]

True, I was thinking world sales. Either way, they aren't #1 in the US. I want to see that commercial again and read the fine print. I'm curious as to their spin on it.

Well there's your answer. Thanks. I was WTFing about that...


So its like how they claim the F-150 has been #1 for all of those years when GM beat it many times (between Chevy and GMC).

Either way, Ford sucks and I don't know how they get away with selling vehicles at all.
