Best selling sedans Top 5

Because of its various types and the wide range of choices, the most important aspect that most drivers concerned is the price.

I would like to post the rest of the top 10 sedan and the most expensive sedan.

5. Nissan Altima

2009 Nissan AltimaNissan’s Altima lands mid-pack with its handsome Altima. Although the vehicle has gone through many changes over the years, the Nissan Altima is still a unique and compelling choice between the Nissan Maxima and Nissan Sentra. The Nissan Altima’s base engine is the stout 175 hp Horsepower (which makes 180 lbs feet of torque). 2.5-liter DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder.The Hybrid has a 2.5-liter 4 cylinder gasoline engine is capable of 158 hp (2,800 rpm) and 162 lbs feet of torque (at 4,800 rpm). That is the most powerful 4 cylinder engine currently used in a hybrid car. The top of the line power-plant for the Nissan Altima is the burly 270 horsepower 3.5-liter 258 lb-ft DOHC 24-valve V6. The transmission choices are 2 CVTs (one is electronically controlled and matched up with the Nissan Altima Hybrid) and a sporty 6-speed manual. For a sporty alternative, Nissan recently released the Nissan Altima Coupe which competes directly with the Honda Accord Coupe.


4. Honda Civic

2009 Honda Civic SedanThe Honda Civic is the most flexible platform of any vehicle on this list. The Civic covers many bases with a slew of standard models (both coupe and 4-door), a 4-door hybrid, a very sporty Civic Si 2 and 4-door and a Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) 4-door. It’s not unusual to see a Civic squeezing around a corner in a club race, sipping fuel as a commuter or finding a “modified” Civic in a custom car show. Available in coup and 4-door (the Hybrid and CNG are 4-door only) There are no less than 4 engine choices and 4 transmission choices (specific engines are usually teamed with specific transmissions). The overall Honda Civic platform is very flexible and many find the shape of the exterior and interior handsome. Engine choices are the base model’s 140 horsepower (making 128 lbs feet of torque) 1.8 liter 4-cylinder. The Si’s only engine choice is the 197 horsepower (139 lbs feet of torque) 2.0 liter 4-cylinder.  The Honda Civic Hybrid has a 110 horsepower (6,000 rpm) 1.3 liter engine (making 123 lbs feet of torque).The Compressed Natural Gas engine (CNG) has 113 horsepower (which produces 109 lbs feet of torque) 1.8 liter, 4 cylinder engine. The Honda Civic Si gets a 6-speed manual transmission and the Honda Civic Hybrid uses a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). The Honda Civic CNG uses a 5-speed automatic transmission and the remainder of the line can opt for either the 5-speed manual or automatic transmission.


3. Toyota Corolla/Matrix

2009 Toyota CorollaThe Toyota Corolla is not only one of the top sellers in the Unites States on our list; it is one of the best selling cars of all time. In many ways, the Toyota Corolla is the Toyota Camry’s smaller sibling. They both have a bent towards quality and reliability. The Toyota Matrix is essentially a hatchback/station wagon version of the Toyota Corolla. The Toyota Matrix design is aimed at a more2009 Toyota Matrix youthful consumer as is the sporty Toyota Corolla XRS. Both Corolla and Matrix come standard with a thrifty 132 horsepower (128 lbs feet of torque) 1.8 liter 4-cylinder engine. The optional engine for both vehicles is a punchy 158 horsepower (162 lbs feet of torque) 2.4 liter 4-cylinder engine. One unique option offered by the Toyota Matrix is all-wheel-drive (AWD). This AWD option comes with the 4-speed automatic. The 5-speed manual and 5-speed automatic transmissions are standard options on all of the front-wheel-drive Matrix and Corolla variants.



2. Honda Accord

2009 Honda AccordIt is interesting to note that the current Honda Civic rivals the size of the original 4-door Honda Accords. The new Honda Accord has grown into a sleek 5-passenger sedan (or coupe) that has some of the best reliability scores of any vehicle built. The Honda Accord directly competes with the Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima and Chevrolet Malibu. These vehicles are fighting for the largest cross-section of consumers in the market and all are very competitive with each other. The Honda Accord has won several accolades for its engineering and performance. The Accord has a base model 177 horsepower (161 lbs feet of torque) 2.4 liter, 4-cylinder engine. The mid-level power-plant is a 190 horsepower (162 lbs feet of torque) 2.4 liter, 4-cylinder and the 271 horsepower (254 lbs feet of torque) 3.5 liter V6 is their top-of-the-line motor. It should be noted that the Honda Accord Coupe has many of the same features of the 4-door in a sleek, sporty package.


1. Toyota Camry

2009 Toyota CamryToyota has made one of the most compelling vehicles for American tastes. In many ways, the Toyota Camry shows more variations on a theme than just about any other vehicle (other than the Honda Civic). With the Toyota Camry, you can option it with just bare necessities along with a slick 5-speed manual and have a comfortable, economical, affordable commuter. Or, lather up the options and build a Toyota Camry that’s a whisker away from being called a Lexus. Just look at the engine choices alone: 158 hp (producing 161 lbs feet of torque) 2.4-liter 4-cylinder, 268 horsepower (making 248 lbs feet of torque) 3.5-liter V6 and the 2.4-liter Hybrid. Its gas engine pumps out 147 hp (138 lbs feet of torque). Sealed Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries store 650 volts. The permanent magnet AC synchronous motor produces 199 lbs feet of torque at 0 to 1500 rpm.

Actually most of the best selling sedans are made by Toyota or Handa.

Maybe the recent reports about the top ranked Hyundai motors on several newpapers are manipulated.....

As you know, the expensive the better (maybe.......)

These are the expensive cars.


2011 Jaguar XJ      JaguarXJ

2011 Porsche Panamera       Porche

2011 Mercedes-Benz S-Class      Bentz

I may list BMW or Audi.

Most of them are cost more than 100,000$.

However, if I have lots of money, this is my choice.







I and one of my friend promised to drive the car someday even by a lent.
