9. Ford Fusion
Total sales for 2009 so far: 85,146
Percentage loss from last year: 3.2

The Fusion was reworked but not totally redesigned for 2009, and we think it's one of the best midcycle updates we've seen in quite some time. The car looks better, has a nicer interior and offers several engaging entertainment features. Plus, the available hybrid is one of the best on the market — close to 40 mpg out of a roomy, comfortable midsize sedan is quite an accomplishment. While Fusion sales are down this year, the drop of 3.2 percent is far less than just about any model on the market. That's testament to the effective update of the Fusion and the goodwill Ford seems to be enjoying for not taking government money. If you haven't driven a Ford lately, take a look at the Fusion.
1. Ford F-Series
Total sales for 2009 so far: 179,632
Percentage loss from last year: 36.6

The perennial king of the hill is still on top. The F-Series has been America's best-selling pickup truck for 32 years, and it's not giving up the title despite tough competition from Chevrolet, Toyota and a much-improved Dodge Ram. We like the F-150's balance of capability and comfort. It far outmuscles the competition when it comes to pulling power and payload capacity, yet still offers one of the smoother and more refined rides on the market. While full-size trucks may no longer be the choice for everyday transportation, their utility and hauling capacity will always make them popular with contractors, small businesses and families who need to tow, haul and go off-road.

Some people are like Slinkys. They have no purpose, but they sure bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Midnight Blue, I am not employed by Ford in any way, but I have tried all the automakers and love my Fords.
Glad Ford didn't take the bail out, they were able to do things with out taxpayer money, like the other 2. That has helped their sales some I think.
