The Detroit News headline pretty much says it all: "Toyota trounces U.S. automakers in September sales." With all the headlines Toyota has been getting this past year, is there any surprise here? Once the steamroller starts moving, it just gathers speed...

Their new 3.5l V6 is helping them a lot. It's both powerful and efficient, and it's made its way in to a lot of Toyota and Lexus products lately.

The engine made Ward's, too.

GM has a nice 3.6l but they reserve it for low-volume models. Why?

Ford's gains are misleading. Remember all the sales last year? If I'm not mistaken, Ford stopped in July-August timeframe, which resulted in dismal sales for the rest of the year. Expect "gains" from Ford the rest of the year.
