I wonder what the last one on the list is.
A Hummer no doubt. Just speculation. Who knows, now that China owns the Hummer brand there might be hope.
Really? You don't think it'd be one of those crazy expensive cars? I wonder if there's a way to calculate the highest selling car per dollar (like, to adjust for price, y'know?). I have weird questions, don't I?
Nah, I've wondered about this stuff too.  I've always figured pricey exotics shouldn't even be compared to economy cars and the like.. I mean, there is this website (fueleconomy.gov) with fuel economy ratings. They've got the ten best and worst, and the worst is compiled entirely of European sports cars. Well, duh, they're going to be the worst. Why even include? I'll need to find a way to figure out the worst sellers, not including cars that were designed to be low-selling vehicles.
Or maybe you could just calculate the percentage of cars sold versus how many are built? Or would that be skewed as well?
I think that would be a flawed calculation, because many companies are building much more then they are selling. Which results in many cars either not being sold soon after they are built, or some even being stored for weeks and months. Soon, today or tomorrow maybe press releases from various automakers should be released giving all the sales details.. Then I will try making a list of the worst-sellers.

Tundra was easily Toyota's largest failure this decade. Luke, that list doesn't include fleet sales. 4est, my truck has that optional feature Chevrolet offered in the early 1990s where you drop the tailgate and it falls off. It comes in handy, sometimes. Although I have yet to appreciate it falling off at random on major Alaska interstates.
