It’s Official: Ford Focus World’s Best-Selling Car

Ford says now what Matt Gasnier said months ago: The Ford Focus model was the world's best-selling passenger car in 2012. Ford's assertion is based on data from automotive consulting firm Polk.

According to Reuters, Ford sold 1,020,410 of its Focus compact in 2012. More than one out of four Focus cars were sold in China, where registrations climbed 51 percent.

Focus was launched in China in late March last year, and was on top of China's sales charts for most of the months to follow, a remarkable achievement for late-to-China Ford.  U.S. sales were up 40 percent in 2012.

According to Matt, the Focus was followed by Toyota's Corolla in second place, and Hyundai's Elantra in third.
