Just How Close Is Toyota To Overtaking GM’s #1 Spot?

Glad you asked. The answer is 160,000 cars.
That's the figure that represents last year's difference in global sales between General Motors and Toyota according to Detroit News.
In 2006, The General and all his yes-men (hummer, Opel, Saab, et al.) sold 9.18 million units. Toyota and all its subsidiaries (Daihatsu, Lexus, et al.) parted with 9.02 millions, comparatively. The Japanese juggernaut plans on churning out as many as 9.34 million sales this year.
What does this mean in fundamental terms? Not a whole heck'uv a lot. Just a reaffirmation that times do change as does top dog status.
