The recent recession has made the think tanks to reevaluate this criterion, and now a more intense and complex calculation is carried out, which is based on a number of factors, such as cost, luxuries, etc. But through the years it has been anonymously decided that the sales per model remain the top most factor in determining the success of each car.
