Toyota Motor will become the largest seller of light vehicles in the
U.S. It has held the top spot globally since last year.

Unless I needed a small PU truck I don't have any plans in the near or
distant future to buy from the big three. Once they lose customer
loyalty, it's damn hard to get it back. My father was a loyal Chevy
owner for 30 plus years for example and I think it broke his Chevy
loving heart to see me purchase my first new car, a Plymouth.

It's hard to fill orders rapidly when you're making cars for the whole
world!
