Toyota poised to reclaim world's biggest carmaker title

Quote:

Toyota is set to reclaim the title of world's biggest carmaker in 2012, after falling into third place in 2011.

The Japanese firm said it anticipated a 22% increase in group sales for 2012, reaching 9.7 million vehicles globally.

Quote:

The bulk of them - 8.68 million - come from its own-brand and Lexus vehicles.

In 2011, Toyota lost the top spot to General Motors of the US with Germany's Volkswagen coming second, after Japan's tsunami and earthquake, as well as flooding in Thailand, hit production.

Toyota had previously held the crown for the world's biggest maker and seller of cars in three consecutive years, from 2008 to 2010.

The brake is in the middle, so no danger if I mistake the klutch for the accelaration :O:

I thought you'd be first in line to buy a Yugo, not a Toyota?:hmmm:

Do not mock the Yugo, it was undestructable once you finished its production at home :O:

Sometimes the windows or lock wouldn't work on a Yugo and when you opened the inside a message would be inside: kolko meni plata, tolko tebi vrata (your door like my pay)

Over thirty year ago I purchased a brand new Polski Fiat but promptly sold it the day it went out of warranty :)
