Nationwide these are the best selling models in 2020
  1. Ford F-Series ------------------- PICKUP
  2. Chevrolet Silverado ------------------- PICKUP
  3. Ram Pickup ------------------- PICKUP
  4. Toyota RAV4 ================= COMPACT SPORT UTILITY VEHICLE
  5. Honda CR-V ================= COMPACT SPORT UTILITY VEHICLE

  10. Toyota Tacoma ------------------- PICKUP
  11. Toyota Corolla
  12. Nissan Rogue ================= COMPACT SPORT UTILITY VEHICLE
  13. Ford Explorer ================= COMPACT SPORT UTILITY VEHICLE
  14. Toyota Highlander
  15. Jeep Grand Cherokee ================= COMPACT SPORT UTILITY VEHICLE
  16. Tesla Model 3

The Toyota Highlander is considered a full size SUV even though it is larger than the Toyota RAV4 and smaller than the Toyota 4Runner.

Californians purchase Japanese and European cars more than US cars.
Market California U.S.
Domestic 32.5% 45.3%
Japanese 45.1% 36.4%
European 15.1% 9.9%
Korean 7.2% 8.4%


Toyota, Honda plus Lexus and Acura is one third of all sales in California.
California top 5
1.Honda Civic
2.Toyota RAV4
3.Toyota Camry
4.Honda Accord
5.Tesla Model 3

If CA intends to ban the sale of gasoline powered vehicles in 2035 then we should see an EV move into the top 4 places soon.

I can’t understand why GM continues to sell two brands of pickups. I expected them to ditch GMC like they did Olds and Pontiac.
The mind hungers for that on which it feeds.

I don't know if the electrification of cars is going to consolidate the industry or if will end up more diverse than ever. There are going to be dozens of smaller manufacturers in the business with their own models, at least initially.
