It's not a tie......
Toyota can't finagle their way out of this one.....
http://www.topspeed.com/cars/car-new...e-ar51362.html I love it. GO GM! Keep pushing...get that huge market share in China, keep building the incredible products you've brought out in recent years and you will get more market share here in the US too. Screw Japan, let Toyota have it...take the rest of the world, and it won't matter. |

I know I've previously stated that it didn't matter to me... He heeeeh I'm still stoked that GM won.

I never would have guessed that china was such a prize as far as car sales

That's a pretty good article. I just have one comment on this part:

Either that logic is flawed, or we American are just the most forgiving nation on the planet. Actually, I think it's a bit of both. |

German and Japanese cars are some of the best selling cars on the planet... BMW, Benz, VW, Toyota, Mitsubishi... all of these companies supported the Axis powers and they are all some of the most powerful car companies in the world today... in no small part due to the fact that they were aided in reconstruction by the Allied powers and then started selling cars by the boat load to our uninformed and care free masses. I'm betting on GM to keep the top spot and win next year... and I'll remain loyal to my GM brands for as long as I feel they make the cars that I want... the only Toyota products that I would ever buy have Supra and SC300 written on them... and both of those aren't made anymore, so none of my money would go to the head office... but I might be able to sway whoever is selling the car into buying a GM product to replace it

Oh....as well as putting it in their 'constitution', that we'll protect them due to their lack of army....so we can't bloody well walk away from them now. That's part of it. But other than that...Great news, great story, and great prospects. Just imagine, if you will, when the Volt comes out - and all Toyota can muster is a competitor that gets a whopping 7-10 miles on pure electric..... I can't wait. THIS is the GM the older folks remember, and the younger ones are introduced to, THIS is the GM we all can be proud of supporting, and THIS is the GM that will dominate car sales in the world for years to come!!!! |

Anyhoo, back on topic. That is a razor thin margin ~3000 cars. Thats 1 week of sales for a top selling vehicle. But I do feel that this is about the best that Toyota will do for a while. GM is on the up swing, while toyota is getting a fair amount of bad press with GM offering lots of exciting new models.
