Our Mission
The original mission of GoodCarBadCar was simple yet bold: to advance, promote, and aggrandize the Good Car while dethroning the bad car, banishing the frumpy car, and eliminating boring vehicular abominations from our roads.
What began as passionate automotive commentary has evolved into one of the internet’s most trusted resources for global vehicle sales data and analysis, serving an ever-growing audience of automotive enthusiasts, industry professionals, and market analysts.
Data-Driven Expertise
Today, GoodCarBadCar is operated by a team of data scientists and automotive enthusiasts who combine analytical rigor with genuine passion. Where others see spreadsheets, we see stories—transforming raw sales figures into actionable intelligence that reveals market trends, competitive dynamics, and industry shifts.
Comprehensive Global Coverage
Our database provides detailed automotive sales data across:
- North America: Complete U.S. and Canadian figures by brand, model, and segment dating back to 2002
- Europe: Data for virtually every European country, covering passenger cars and light commercial vehicles
- Asia: Comprehensive coverage of China (the world’s largest market) with detailed manufacturer breakdowns
- Global: Statistics for over 180 countries with regional analysis and trend reporting
We meticulously track all major vehicle categories—from small cars to luxury SUVs, sports cars to pickup trucks—with monthly updates that provide both current insights and historical context. Additional data sources will be included in the future to enhance the database and add context.
Industry Intelligence at Consumer Prices
We believe professional-grade automotive data shouldn’t require a professional-grade budget. While industry reports from traditional sources can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars annually, GoodCarBadCar delivers comparable intelligence for just $29 per year.
Our members receive ad-free access to our complete data archive, including historical figures, international markets, and premium analysis—the same caliber of information used by industry professionals, but at a fraction of the price.

We’re democratizing automotive market intelligence by making complex data accessible to everyone—from corporate analysts to curious enthusiasts—in clear, engaging formats that reveal the stories behind the statistics.
