Wow. That's going to be a huge hit on GM's earnings.
Edit: adjusted for selling days, Toyota is down 7.9%
Really? Civic is doing better than Corolla huh? I guess so since the Rolla was new for February, so does Civic out sell the Rolla in the U.S. generally?
Damn Ricers!

If you add the Corolla and the Camry, they are 7,000 units ahead of the Civic and Accord. The Civic barely beat the Corolla, but the Camry totally blew away the Accord.

The Civic has been the top-selling car in Canada for 10 years now, so it consistently outsells the Corolla, at least on an annual basis (the Corolla, I believe, has outsold the Civic some months). I don't know the American sales figures.

The Civic outsells the Corolla in the US too for the most part.

No, not in the last few years at least. The old generation Corolla (in its 6th year) was outselling the much newer Civic even late in 2007. I am sure you can find the data in TN somewhere if you search, and you'll find the Corolla sold more last year than the Civic.
Maytag outsells Whirlpool and Kenmore in month of May!!!!
Oh wait, nevermind, wrong forum, sorry.
But seriously, unless you work for Toyota or a dealer (sales). Why does everyone get so excited about sales volumes? Isn't there better things about cars to get excited about? Like performance, styling, features, etc...???
Personally, I couldn't care less how many Civics Honda sells, Corolla's Toyota sells or how many Malibu's GM sells. I like cars and trucks for what they are, not how many get sold.

Not flaming, just asking...
Vmax, nice truck . Nice pic.
Man, I guess all comes down to this.... that is what THIS THREAD is all about. Sales sales sales and more sales.
And talking about how the camry blew the doors off the accord...well....interestingly accord was up a whopping 37% and the camry was DOWN 1.5% . (may 2007 vrs may 2008) At least to have another view about it.

Sales are objective, performance (to a degree), styling, and features are subjective.
You can't argue that GM is losing massive market share, because it's objective, but you can argue that the Sierra is a good looking truck, because it's subjective. I can see why you'd like to avoid the first argument.
Sales #s mean that, on the whole, the population likes the car ... for whatever reason that might be ... everyone is looking for something different in a car. Anyone who likes Toyota should be happy to see their sales numbers go up!
Like fan said, they are facts ... not opinions ... so its a great way to evaluate a company's performance, as well as a which cars are liked by the population.
I don't mean to start a fight, or to put you down Vmax, but why do many of your posts seem to be geared towards Toyota vs. GM, or towards creating an argument between the two fan bases, especially when you know that the majority of this website is Pro-Toyota (being ToyotaNation.com and all)?
