According to figures from HIS Automotive, the Ford Focus is currently the biggest-selling car in the world.

Ford has shifted 489,616 Focuses since the beginning of 2012, over 27,000 more than its key competitor, the Toyota Corolla.

The Focus also delivered another Ford milestone today as the 350-millionth vehicle produced by the company rolled off the production lines at Ford's factory in Rayong, Thailand.

This equates to one car for every twenty people worldwide and, if laid end-to-end, they would reach to the moon and back twice.
