"Not really - seen the latest employment figures? GM employs less than 200,000 people. Toyota alone employs almost that many directly."

Toyota employs about 32,000 people in the US. GM employs about 140,000. Even after their cuts, Ford will be around 90,000.

Where the heck are you getting your numbers? 200,000 employed at Toyota? That is almost an order of magnitude too high, unless you're counting their worldwide employment compared to GM's US employment (hardly a fair comparison)

I was actually counting Toyota's worldwide numbers - wanted to see if he'd catch it or if he was going to bluster. :-P
