Beats me. Personally, I would much rather talk about cars than argue pointless things.
What you think of the new Ford Explorer?

<quoted text>A neighbor of mine really likes his explorer which is several years old. I personally like the Edge better, if you want a more car-like ride. There are some improvements in the 2011 Edge in performance and MPG's.

Your neighbor no doubt has the truck-based Explorer. The new one is a car-based vehicle which is probably very much like the Edge. I think it'll do well.

I have no problem with faulting Toyota for the creation of their recalls--they created the underlying manufacturing issues and cannot blame anyone else for that.
That said, Toyota's issues have indeed been ruthlessly exploited by the US media, the domestic competition, by the US government, by US politicians, and by anti Toyota bloggists like yourself.
There is absolutely no question these issues Toyota has experienced have been blown way out of proportion, and this has been a major contributing factor in Toyota's sales declines.
At the best of times JJ, not even you can deny that.(Although I know you'll do your best to cover it up!)

I wonder if sales will catch up in 2011? I bet they do not.

Toyota only sold 10,000 more cars than GM did in 2010. GM will re-claim it's title.

According to Edmunds.com January is indeed expected to be very profitable for GM. Their projected sales are 162,600, up 11.1% from Jan 2010. Ford is expected to sell 129,000 vehicles, up 12.8 %. For Toyota the projection is 117,400, up 18.8% from Jan 2010.
Kudos to Ford and GM for their innovation and improved reliabiity.
The increase of 18.8% in sales for Toyota shows that they are still in the ballgame and a worthy competitor.
GM and Ford still lag behind in most foreign countries. With less expensive smaller vehicles like the Cruze, Fiesta and Focus GM and Ford will be more competitive there as well.
