Terrible circumstances...but "good" results! GM beat expectations, and Toyota failed miserably.
Regarding
my feelings towards Toyota, since it was brought up. I don't like their business practices...I don't like
any of their cars...and I root for the home team; and they are GM's toughest competition.
But more directly; I
dispise the reputation they've achieved and somehow maintained. For instance, look at the Cavalier, BOTH versions of it...as in the Toyota Cavalier, and the Chevy Cavalier....guess which one's people would have rather bought? Even though they're the
exact same vehicle.....
Due mostly to that, Toyota is poised to overtake GM in total sales, and I think it's ridiculous. So I celebrate anything that hurts them, frankly. So to see them loose nearly DOUBLE the sales that GM lost makes me very happy.
