If you guessed VW, you're wrong. It was Subaru by a hair.
In 2014? Subaru KILLED VW.

The sales numbers speak quite loudly.
That's cute, but Ford sold a quarter million more F-150s than Subaru's TOTAL SALES last year. GM managed to pimp more Silverados than Subaru's TOTAL UNITS SOLD. And even Ram could find enough people to buy Chrysler pickups (?!) to almost equal SUBARU'S WHOLE LINEUP.
Don't get me wrong here, I think Subies are great. They're so cool that I can look right past the mechanical deficiencies and I would seriously consider buying one for myself. (I mean, I know how to use a dipstick.) But to resort to comparing their sales to VW just shows how ridiculously low their sales are. VWs and Subarus are sold in California and
college towns, not many other places.

But, Subaru is one of the smaller producers, even though some models are in short supply on dealer lots. And what mechanical deficiencies are you talking about?
