At the height of the auto industry collapse last year Toyota continuously sold more cars in America than any other auto-maker. A sticking accelerator pedal recall later and they are officially out of the number one spot. The numbers this month tell a part of the story yet it is important to remember that production and sales were halted for a time as the company scurried around attempting to fix its sudden acceleration issues. The real curiosity will be sales numbers from March through this summer as both Ford and GM have some of the strongest products coming to market in their history.
The sales numbers for this month are as follows:
#1 Ford- 142,285 vehicles. Up from 99,400 last February.
#2 GM- 141,951 vehicles. Up from 127,296 last February.
#3 Toyota- 100,027. Down from 109,583 last February.
While Toyota may have fallen it is still important to note that they are #3 in America even with the highly publicized recalls.
