For the best-selling car model in the world, Toyota appeared to still be voiced by placing the Corolla as the best-selling car on Earth.

Manufactured in 15 countries and sold more than 140 markets, the Corolla is the perfect definition of a best-selling car. In 2011, Toyota has sold an estimated 1.02 million Corollas, down about 2 percent from a year earlier.

Thus the results of projections revealed by IHS Global Insight and quoted by Forbes, Tuesday (27/12/2011).

Even cars like the Wuling Sunshine China has been able to speak better than a row of Honda car with a projected sell 943 thousand cars in 2011 and became the number 3 best-selling car in the world.

Korean car manufacturer Hyundai began as popular. Hyundai Elantra deliver success as one of the popular car. The car is in Korea known as the Avante is projected to be able to sell 1.01 million units. Whereas two years ago did not even get a list of the top 10 best-selling car.

"When natural disasters occur, consumers around the world are beginning to realize, 'Wow, there are products that are really good out there other than Toyota and Honda," said senior analyst Rebecca Lindland of IHS Global Insight as quotation from Forbes, Tuesday ( 12/27/2011).

In addition to Hyundai Elantra, the brother, KIA also has little to say after successfully market new KIA Rio with the prediction of 815,000 units, up from sales of 500,000 units in the previous generation Kia Rio. Even in Iran, cars made and sold by MCH partners, SAIPA managed to make Rio a Persian ruler in the country.

American manufacturers were not to be outdone, Ford Focus and Fiesta put the car as best-selling car in the world.

Honda does not like Toyota are still able to maintain a best-selling car model even though exposed to various disasters. Year 2011 was a year for the gray Honda supply shortage due to various natural disasters.

Sales of the Honda Civic one of the models fell 12.5 percent compared to 2010. Two years ago the Civic became the fifth most popular car in the world, but this year with estimated sales of 555,071 units, the Civic does not even enter the top 10 list.

The momentum of the fall of Japan is also used by European manufacturers such as Volkswagen to overhaul the design of their cars like the Jetta, Golf and Passat are then deliver them into one of the best-selling car in the world. Chevrolet Cruze is also squeezed into the list of best-selling car.

The earthquake and tsunami in Japan, floods in Thailand to the strengthening of the yen makes Toyota's sales in free fall in the arena of the automotive world to make the crown of the world's biggest car seller must also be detached from the head.
