That is a pretty significant lead. Last year this time Toyota was ahead by only 30,000 vehicle. It will be extremely unlikely this year for GM to make a comeback given their current situation with strikes and plants closing down.

Well, I do work for a Toyota dealership and have access to plenty of information that you don't. So if you want to call me a liar which you just did then believe what you want to. Have a nice day.

OK, firstly you have no idea what information I may have access to. Secondly I was not calling you a liar because that implies deliberate intention to deceive which I don't think is the case.

So what kind information you have access to? At least we know mackabee works at a Toyota dealership so right now IMO he is more convincing than you.

So, you think that Toyota may be lying about their sales numbers for political reasons. This despite the fact that they have shareholders who tend to take a dim view of lying by companies these days. Let's for one moment suppose that this is the case, having done that they then tell their US dealers the truth confident in the knowledge that none of their employees will leak this 'true' information. Well, they really misread one of their dealers because Mackabee has let the truth slip out.

They didn't hide this fact from anyone. Automotive news reported it.

"Let me see, who am I going to believe? Someone who posts on an internet forum or Toyota? Hmm, tough one, but I think I'll go with Toyota. "
You said it.

Actually over the last 4 years Toyota has had the least number of recalls of all the major 4 makers. On balance though last year GM had the lowest number, just below Toyota. Ford and Chrysler seemingly can't get out of their own way still.
However on balance most of these recalls from all makers are on vehicles built in the late 90's through 2005. But what many of the mudslingers don't comprehend is that TREAD has changed the entire automotive environment. Google it.

The article mentions they are setting aside even more money for cash incentives for SUVs and pick-ups. Whoa, they are definitely going to reach levels tht are very much unprecedented for Toyota.
