[net.auto] Top Ten Cars of 1983

dcn@ihuxl.UUCP (Dave Newkirk) (03/12/84)

	Here are the top ten cars of 1983 as determined by the car buying
	population of America:

	1. Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme	331,179
	2. Ford Escort			326,333
	3. Chevy Cavalier		259,397
	4. Chevy Caprice/Impala		238,930
	5. Buick Regal			234,035
	6. Oldsmobile 88		228,770
	7. Honda Accord			222,137
	8. NIssan Sentra		212,719
	9. Olds Cutlass Ciera		191,720
       10. Chevy Celebrity		180,627

	As you may have guessed by now, this vote is really the car sales
	statistics for 1983.  It seems that buyers are splitting between
	the older "big car" models and the new desigs.  Many of these buyers
	could be a two-car family with a large car for everybody-at-once trips
	and a commuter car for mommy or daddy.

Good Lord - 7 of the top 10 are made by GM!  If I can help it, I refuse
to even *rent* those suckers!  Oh, well - the buyers will have plenty of 
room to stretch out while waiting for the tow truck!
