List of best-selling automobiles

Best selling automobiles are those passenger cars and light trucks which, since the introduction of the Benz Patent Motorwagen in 1886, can lay claim to being the highest selling vehicles in the markets they compete in.
While references to verify the manufacturers' claims have been included, there is always the possibility of inaccuracy or hyperbole. Also note that a single vehicle can be sold concurrently under several nameplates in different markets, as with for example the Nissan Sunny; in such circumstances manufacturers often provide only cumulative units sold figures for all models. As a result, there is no definitive standard for measuring units sold; Volkswagen has claimed its Beetle as the bestselling car in history as it did not substantially change throughout its production run.〔("Twenty million built and still going strong" ), Bill Vance, ''Carguide''〕 By contrast, Toyota has applied the Corolla nameplate to 11 generations since 1966, which have sold over 40 million through July 2013.
==World's bestsellers==
Three cars have been widely acknowledged as the "bestselling automobile in the world" since Ford built its millionth Model T on December 10, 1915. The Model T itself remained the highest seller until forty five years after production ceased in 1927. On February 17, 1972 Volkswagen claimed that the Ford had been superseded by the Beetle, when the 15,007,034th was manufactured.〔 Although The Model T has subsequently been credited with 16.5 million units sold, this anomaly is moot in light of the Beetle reaching 21 million.〔("The 21,529,464th, and Last, Beetle" ), ''New York Times'', July 31, 2003〕
The Beetle remained the bestselling vehicle until the late 1990s,〔("Top 5 Best-Selling Cars Ever" ), Timeforkids.com, January 23, 1998〕 when it was itself overtaken by the Toyota Corolla.〔(" Toyota Corolla" ), John Pearley Huffman, Edmunds.com, January 5, 2003〕 However, this was an example of the modern practice of applying a brand name across a range of vehicles, and retaining it for marketing purposes even as the car changes.〔("Toyota Corolla: The World's Favourite Car" ), Sean O'Grady, ''The Independent'', September 25, 2006〕 While the first Corolla in 1966 was rear wheel drive and rode on a 2286 mm wheelbase, the current front wheel drive versions share a 2600 mm wheelbase and use a mechanically unrelated platform. The Beetle's overall design, both aesthetically and mechanically, changed so little over the course of its 65 year run that it's possible to mount a 1936 body on a 2003 chassis or vice-versa.
