You are wrong!! Mike what's his name will be along shortly to explain the
real facts to you and all of us. LOL
I believe it's called fuzzy Georgie.

I prefer to deal with facts rather than opinion when a contribute to a
discussion. Toyota sold around 9,000 more vehicle, world wide than GM, in
the first three month of 2007, that's a fact.

How do you figure 9,000 more vehicles?

According to Tango, there were about

2,348,000 Toyotas sold first 3 months
2,260,000 GMs
-----------
88,000

I thought this was going to be a Sheryl Crow story ...

Of course I meant 90,000, the point is that is not even a half hour of
sales. GM does not compete in many of the market in which Toyotas does. GM
does not generally build the midget cars that Toyota sells in third world
counties for example. One quarters results do not necessarily equate
annual sales results. Toyota out sold GM in two different month in 2006 but
GM still out sold Toyota in annual sales world wide. More importantly GM
still out sells Toyota, in the largest markets in the world where their
products directly compete like the US and Europe, buy millions of vehicles
annually.

I don't know what you meant. You said 9,000. I took you at your word. Your
logic is too convoluted to guess at what you mean. If you say 9,000, I will
believe that you meant 9,000.

GM competes in the two biggest markets with Toyota, Europe and North
America. In addition, GM and Toyota and other car makers are competing in
the markets with the most people, China and India. GM is #1 in China:

But's not exactly true, either.

GM offers the Corsa, which is a small car, in England.

In China, GM offers cars that are similar to ones it offers the US buyers
here, as well as smaller cars:

Wrong. A more accurate statement is that quarterly results do not equate
with annual sales results. Obviously, Toyota and GM are both opening new
plants in different parts of the world, have production problems from time
to time, etc. The markets are changing fast, and, one would expect that
sales change pretty rapidly, too.

Gee, I thought you said that they don't compete in many markets.

You're so funny.
