Toyota tops many automotive lists. Even if one of the brand’s vehicles doesn’t take the number-one spot, the Japanese automaker often boasts the most well-reviewed vehicles. And now, Toyota has done it again, this time by beating General Motors in U.S. sales.

As a side note, I’m not particularly happy to hear this news. I’d rather see profits from US car sales stay in the US. But there is no denying that Toyota genuinely cares about quality. GM, not so much.
Yes, well, she was working at Hooters. Not down the street at Brainers.
GM was stolen from the bondholders when they went bankrupt. When you buy a car from GM, you are effectively buying a stolen car.
GM should have been broken up.
Will never buy a government motors made vehicle.
Overdue.
Since Obama took the company from its owners, I couldn’t care less. It’s a communist company.
“GM should have been broken up.”
The bond holders should have decided. It seemed to me to be the best course of action at the time, but I wasn’t holding any bonds.
The biggest employer in this part of Kentucky is the Toyota factory, between Georgetown and Cynthiana.
Toyota’s last forever. My parents only got them and my siblings have continued.
i swore id never buy a japanese car....until i bought a mint Toyota Supra in the mid 1990’s....easily the best car i ever owned. I used to work on the car even if it didnt really need any work...couldnt believe how easily everything was to reach and went back together. I kept “grinding the starter” the first few weeks i had it...the motor was so quiet. I got so many compliments on that car....
GM stuff is mostly made in Mexico and Canada. Toyota has plants in the USA.
Every time I see an older Toyota 4x4 pickup going down the road, I want one. I had a coupe of 2wd models. Good little trucks if you can keep them from rusting in half.
Toyota’s North American headquarters are right here in Plano, TX down the street from where I live.
Unions ruined the American car companies...i knew guys that worked at Fords...couldnt believe what they got away with...stealing time...sleeping....

Really, the GM stockholders should have decided. They are the ones who truly owned the company.
But Obama made those stock shares worthless. As others here have noted, that was theft. That was bad enough. What was worse was that no court bothered to stop him.
GM and Ford seem to think that the only market is for SUVs and trucks. If you want a sedan, you have to go with the Japanese, Koreans, or Europeans.
I have had 3 Toyota pick ups in the last 40 years never did anything to them except tires brakes oil one clutch couple starters and batteries and rarely a bad bulb
*** Toyota’s last forever. ***
I think the quality of their paint has gone downhill.
