Well, the numbers are certainly not as high as the best-sellers like Camry, Accord, and (formerly) Taurus at 350,000-450,000 per year, but they are certainly not low.
The Caprice sold 200,000+ units through the 80s, which was in the top 10-15 of best selling cars. It sold less in the 90s, at around 100,000 per year, which while lower, is still not too bad.
The Crown Victoria sold similarly in the 1990s, with sales also around 100,000 per year. However, through the 2000s the sales have steadily decreased (expected to total less than 60,000 for 2008) This is most likely because the model has had no major change since 1998. I swear if Ford would just update it then the sales would increase, but noooo, they won't listen to me
Anyhow here is a list of top 20 cars sold in the US for 2007, (not including trucks and SUVs) so you can compare these figures to those of the caprice/ Crown Vic
1. Toyota Camry--------448,445
2. Toyota Corolla------387,388
3. Honda Accord--------354,441
4. Honda Civic---------316,638
5. Cherolet Impala-----289,868
6. Nissan Altima-------232,457
7. Chevrolet Cobalt----211,449
8. Ford Focus----------177,006
9. Ford Taurus(old)----174,803
10. Ford Mustang--------166,530
11. Chvrolet Malibu-----163,853
12. Pontiac G6----------157,644
13. Hyundai Sonata------149,513
14. Chrysler 300--------143,647
15. Ford Fusion---------142,502
16. BMW 3-series--------120,180
17. Nissan Sentra-------117,922
18. Dodge Charger-------114,201
19. Pontiac Grand Prix--108,634
20. Toyota Prius--------106,971
The Crown Vic or Caprice of the 1990s could have easily fit into spot number 18, 19, or 20. In fact they probably were a few years in there. The 1991 Caprice was probably even in the top 10 for that year. So these cars by no means sold in "low" numbers
Also, I came across the list of best selling cars in Europe for 2006 (and their sales in '05)
