Volume wise, I think Toyota may have closed in and probably surpassed GM, depending on how you calculate the numbers. Profit wise, it is annihilating every other car company worldwide. Matter of fact - if you take into account the negative numbers of Ford and GM - Toyota's latest profit result surpasses the combined result of the 11 next largest car companies...a truly staggering state of affairs.

And I forgot to emphasize Toyota's bet on hybrids...that has paid off big time, though there may be a patent dispute brewing up with that...
