In yet another vain attempt to convince the world that slide shows are the future of the internet, the good folks over at Forbes have taken it upon themselves to bestow us with another world-class presentation, this time outlining automaker's best and worst selling models of 2005.

I'll give you one guess which two Mercedes models made the list.

Now back to Forbes' ridiculous website. How difficult would it be to actually have the content of the story on a page, rather than a popup that devotes roughly 25% to the actual story and the remaining 75% to advertisements?  And who set the timing of the slideshow?  Each slide pauses for like 10 minutes before moving on to the next one...

Please, if any of you can actually sit and endure the entire Forbes' slideshow without constantly pressing the next buttons, I'm dying to hear from you.

Oh, and if you didn't guess - the lucky winners were the C-Class and the SLR, with 60,658 and 200 units sold, respectively.
