Oh Yeah, And In Case You Didn’t Hear, GM’s No Longer The World’s Largest Carmaker

You didn't hear it from Maximum Bob…
The title now belongs to… go ahead… guess. No, not Lada. Toyota!
According to Robert Farago of the Truth About Cars who claimed to have parroted what a Toyota spokesman said, Toyota has finally achieved the status as the world's largest automaker. The Japanese giant's victory comes after nipping at the General's heels at number two for a good while now.
And Mr. Farago's point has been verified by those arbiters of all info relevant and accurate – AutoBlog.
But the numbers are still very close. GM could snatch back the title by posting a strong second quarter. But that, of course, remains to be seen.

GM won’t be #1 again next quarter or in any quarter soon. If they do manage a comeback, and the odds are long, it’ll be a few years from now.
You might just be right.
