World’s Largest Automaker: Dethroned GM Concedes That TTAC Was Right
 
Looks like VW is going for #2 and could very well make it in 2013...
 
I would also be willing to wager that Toyota will go forth in the top position without letting cost cutting and QC fall apart again. Surely, they must have learned their lessons when they also took the top spot in recalls from GM for the past 3 years...

A reporter is looking for a subcompact car owner or shopper to weigh in on what kind of impact a sleeker design, like the "Furia" concept released in Detroit, would have on their purchase decision. If you own or are looking for a subcompact car, and think a sleeker design would impact which car you buy, please send your daytime contact info to predmunds.com no later than Monday, January 21, 2013 at 4 p.m. PT/7 p.m. ET.

Anyone else think it look like the original Gen I Prius?

Take away the wild paint job and that's what I see.

I just see another car for people who hate cars and driving, this one with some bric-a-brac to fake the unwashed into believing it is sporty or cool

Never would have guessed, but if you paint it white, you're spot on.

The last one suffered some cost cutting, let's see if they re-content this one. Their redesigns have been hit or miss.

With the FT a bit hit, why not use the WRX platform?
 
I don't think Toyota has used a longitudinal layout since....what, the Supra?

Odd, happened when some port installed options were added, it seems.
