“Ford is tops among the domestic automakers. The Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan once again beat the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. The upscale Lincoln MKZ beat its rivals, the Acura TL and Lexus ES.”

That’s from your link. of all cars built in america, the most important/dominant ones are the camry/accord/and similar competitors.

Ford wins.

Next most important segment is full sized pickup trucks. I didn’t see that in your link anywhere but I’d bet a dollar ford won that segment too. No one sells more trucks than ford.

after that I would say minivans are third most important segment. Ford probably doesn’t win that segment.

After that I would put midsized SUVs as 4th most important...that would be the ford explorer and competitors. Ford probably doesn’t win that segment.

hybrids and teeny tiny cars are not significant segments of the auto market and I wouldn’t even bother to comment on them.
