Thats easy. Its the VL Commodore. LOL - Well it seems that way sometimes here in Melbourne. Amazingly enough, they are all "Interceptors". :thumbsup:

 

 

But seriously, I would take a stab and say in a broad sense - Holden / GMC

The new 2003 Corolla is the 9th rendition of that model and, like other Toyota products, the Corolla has been improving and moving slightly up-market with each succession. Since its introduction in 1966 (1968 in America), the Corolla has been the all-time best selling car in the world. More than 25 million Corollas have been sold in 142 countries. You can't argue with success.

Corolla Rocks.

 

Take some crazy determined Japs, Put them in a room with paper and pens, let them come up with an over enginered car to suit the mass's, make the car last, & value for money (+ a hooole heap of other things) then keep doing that same process over 5 generations (almost 5).

 

Every 2nd car that comes into Toyota is a corolla. every 1st and 3rd these days is a god dam camry :thumbsup: !

the beatle sold the most cars for a single model but did you know the excel names was changed to the accent for two reason one the excel had a bad name and also it was about to out sell the beatle and rumore goes the hyundai did not want to do that with a crap car

actually, the volkswagen type 1 (aka: beetle) is the LONGEST CONTINUOUS RUNNING model name, though there is a particular Morgan which comes VERY close but was discontinued for a few years in the middle or something. chevrolet's suburban also deserves an honorable mention. the ford mustang was the quickest-selling model ever

 

there is a massive thread discussing all this shit on gtplanet.net

the morgan plus 4 ran from the 30s, and is (or was until very recently) still being made.

i guess they probably stopped for ww2 though, but the beetle wasnt started untill the end of the war.....

 

yep the mustang smashed a few records...

if you add all the camaros, firebirds, javlins etc etc (pony class cars) ever made, the mustang still out numbers them all. and its still going.... where all the others are dead
