This week the Porsche 911 just beat out the Passat for the most views in an all German top three.  A news story snuck in with the ninth most views last week.  Good news for the food-bank as it seems it's cause was read by a lot of people read about it in Chris's Explorer article.

The new BMW 3-Series received a huge amount of views last week....even more views then the forum's main-page which is the first time I have seen that happen since I started tracking these numbers.  The Verano took the compact car 'most views' crown over the Beetle while the Veloster barely edged out the Sonic in the subcompact hatchback  popularity contest.  The two MotoringTV video based articles also made the top ten in views.

Diesel and efficient gas technology seemed more interesting to people last week than electric cars and hybrids.  I am surprised at how many people read about the 2013 Lincoln MKS.  Jil's Volt review received more views then Peter's.

James was Mr Popular last week with the most read article and two of the ten most read articles.  People seem to have gotten enough of the Versa and Volt as neither did great.  Interestingly enough, the 2nd Sonic test drive on this site was more popular than the first 2012 Impreza, first 2012 iQ and Porsche 911 test drive.

Getting stuck Doing day-by-day's on cars like the Versa wasn't helping your cause :)

This week the 2012 Impreza, the Prius c and 2012 Camry were all highly viewed articles.  Surprisingly more people read about the Kizashi than the Focus Sedan.  If only Suzuki could turn page views into sales.  James strikes again by having two articles in the top 10.

Even with all the 'criticism' it received on this forum, the Jetta GLI article still managed to receive the most views last week just beating out the day-by-day review of the Mazda3 Sky.  The Subaru test drive came a close 3rd with the week old day-by-day Subaru article also making it to the top ten.

There appears to be a lot of hype around the Ford Fusion as it generated the most views last week.  As can be expected for this site, a diesel wagon came a close second  ;D.  James got 2 day-by-day reviews in the top 10 and a motoringtv video review snuck in at 9th.

The hype around the Subaru BRZ continues as the preview received the most views last week just beating out the Volkswagen CC first drive.  James once again had two day-by-day reviews in the top 10 but they were number 4 and number 8.  My two articles were number 1 and number 5. HA!   :eye:

People are not that interested in a Porsche Hybrid as it barely made the top ten and barely beat 'steering you right'.

Last week the Volvo S60 had the most views by a large margin beating out the Accent and Charger which came a distant 2nd and 3rd.  The used Elantra touring proved to be more popular than the new Compass last week.

This week the Passat received the most views by a large margin.  It was the week of Jonathan as his other article (the Mercedes) received the 3rd most views.  James won the battle of the Buick's as my poor eAssist article received less views than a one week old test drive of a minivan or the jump-start battery box  :rofl2:  :'(

It was a strange week as a feature and a news item both made the top 5 most viewed articles and 4 of these items were in the top 10.  Jonathan stays on top for one more week with the 300S just beating out the Prius V for most views.

So it appears pictures of girls worrying about their British car buried under snow will lead to a lot of clicks.  How else can we explain the huge amount of views the steering you right article received.  As expected, the two first drives received the most views with the Genesis coupe having quite a few more than the Golf R.  The Yaris is more popular than the X3 as well.

Even though it was the 2nd first drive of the Mazda CX-5, views were still the highest by far last week.  The other first drive, the Lexus GS, came in a distant 2nd ahead of the number 1 selling car in Canada, the Honda Civic.  A news item even made the top ten this week.
