Toyota climbs to No. 2 surpassing Ford for world auto sales

Ford dismissed the speculation that it could slip to third place. ?Ford doesn?t have objectives to be No. 1, or No. 2 or No. 9,? said George Pipas, Ford manager for U.S. sales analysis.

?Our objectives are building great products and improving the profitability of our business,? he said.

"Worldwide" sales would include all brands. Besides, the brands you mentioned are relatively low-volume.

"GM" sales include Opel and all those other brands they have in europe. I don't even know if they have Chevy's and pontiacs over there (well except for maybe the Corvette)
 
How can you be in a car thread and not know that GM sells the most vehicles in the world?

Ford is not doing so hot, but GM is really making strides. I wonder if the day will come when GM is dethroned...

Ah, OK.

Looking at the figured, Toyota also has a much better profit margin than Ford.

Toyota is gonna be #1 and there is nothing GM or Ford or any other company can do about it.
Toyota has a reputation of putting out good/reliable cars, while the other manufacturers were lacking.

I wouldn't be surprised if Honda beats Ford.

Honda is nowhere close to Ford and won't be for a while yet.

Nope, we done have any of those over here. AFAIK the only GM brands we get are Saab and Opel/Vauxhall.
Cadillic tried selling the STS over here, but I think they sold about 3 in total and then gave up.

The biggest seller for Ford is the F-150, Honda doesn't have a model to compete with it.
