Top 5 Best-Selling Cars Ever

Back in the 1960s, Americans flipped for the cute-as-a-bug Volkswagen Beetle. The lovable little "Bug," first made in Germany in 1937, became the most popular car in history. By 1979, it was no longer sold in the U.S. The New Beetle is set to roll into the U.S. in March. This model is bigger, fancier and faster. Will it catch up in sales with these best-selling cars of all time?
