No real surprises here. Slightly surprised there's no F150. I thought I read where they sell as fast as the dealer gets them.

Every Ford dealership I drive by, I see tons of F-150's.

What I'm really surprised to not see in the top 10 is the "Sold Out" 2005 Ford Mustang. Maybe its 11th place or something. However, I do see a few V6 Mustangs on the lots, barely any GT's if any.

The only reason as to why I think the Mustang is not in the top 10 is that Ford played the "Sold Out" game to keep sales and interest up on the Mustang(good marketing). They probably just started labelling Mustangs as 2006 models earlier.

I'm not sure I agree with much of this posted list....though, granted, it is hard to argue with the Wall Street Journal.

No Chrysler Hemi 300? No Ford Mustang? No Mini Cooper Convertible? No Ford Escape Hybrid?
All four of these vehicles are hotter than h___ right now...and very difficult to get at dealerships.

the only one i think would make the list would be the mustang

the cooper, 300, and escape have other trims that make it not on the list

or the rx400h or the highlander hybrid could be on the list

It isn't if you own auto dealerships The longer their average cars sit on the lot, the more interests they have to pay . . .

No real surprises, although the BMW 7 series seems quite high on that list. I also thought the mustang would be on there. Congrats to Toyota
