Toyota outsells GM worldwide in first half

Quote:
DETROIT -General Motors Corp., pummeled by falling U.S. sales and high gas prices, lost the global sales lead to Toyota Motor Corp. in the first half of this year, but the churning market makes it difficult to predict which automaker will end the year on top.
Toyota sold 4,817,941 vehicles globally during the first six months of the year, company spokesman Hideaki Homma said Wednesday, beating GM by 277,532 vehicles. Toyota said its global sales rose 2 percent from the same period the year before, while GM's sales fell 3 percent.
It's the second time Toyota has beaten GM in sales in the first half of the year. In 2007, Toyota outsold GM by about 50,000 vehicles, although GM eked out a win for the full year, retaining its 77-year position as the world's largest automaker by sales.
Toyota didn't release regional sales totals, but the weakened U.S. market appeared to be the biggest battleground. With its reputation for small, fuel-efficient cars and less exposure to the plummeting truck and SUV market, Toyota's U.S. sales fell 6 percent, compared with a 16 percent drop for GM. Industrywide sales fell 10 percent.

thats because the yaris and the prius are flying off the lots as soon as they get there. if you want a set list of options with either youre looking at a 6 month to a year wait.

interesting that the most "american" car out there right now is a toyota isnt it.

I guess i got to hand it to Toyota's marketing strategies to make the American public think it's OK to drive a foreign vehicle these days. While even the big 3 is no longer a 100% American product, that's still what you'll find in my driveway. Foreign products have invaded our homes to the point where just about everything has a made in japan or china sticker on it, finding alternative products made in the USA are either impossible to find or just impractical to buy, it's just to hard to control these items. I can control what sits in my driveway and it won't be a damn foreign car. There's a guy down the road from me that has American flags stuck on the back window of his Toyota truck, that just irritates the hell out of me, it wasn't that long ago we dropped "the big one" on that country for good reasons i haven't forgot. Toyota, i got your number one right here, my one finger salute to you and those who drive them.

I also heard a "rumor" from a GOOD source that the Toyota Tundra will soon stop production. Anyone else hear that? Toyota hasn't told the public yet, from what I can find, but they HAVE told employees...

They should discontinue all of them, or load them up on cargo ships and send them back where they came from!!!!!!!!!!
