2009 was a troubled year for the US car market, sales fell down 21% to 10.4 million cars, the bankruptcy of two American brands, and the usage of tax payer money to subsidize cars. In the top 10, only one car experienced a positive trend with most declined (and one car had an increase of 800 percent overall). Yes, we all know that the Americans have different tastes compared to the ASEAN market but there are some cars that are sold similarly to us.
Out of the 12 months, let's look back on America's best sellers for 2009. Look out for our best sellers for USA from 2002 up to 2008. We have included the increase/decrease from 2008.
