Come hell or high water Toyota is pulling out all the stops so they can reach their 200K sales goal this year.

I'll probably never own a Toyota, but they have earned this.

It's hard to compete when you're so much more expensive than the competition.
Glad to hear Toyota outsold Chevy. Now if they could just outdo GM...

This is sort of like a, "big whoop".
GM divided their commoner's cars into Chevrolet, Pontiac-GMC-Buick, and Saturn.
A combined dealership outsells GM's 3-way split dealerships.
But I like how Toyota's PR person says they don't care.
Because the customer doesn't care about this #1, #2 nonsense.
Selling lots of cars doesn't make more money anyways.
It just puts you in riskier business.
GM doesn't care either, playing it smart and keeping incentives low.

That's GM's fault for making clones of every vehicle they decide to build and badging them under all their brands.
Ironically, GM also uses it to mislead the consumer by saying that they have more models with 30MPG than any other automaker. Sorry guys, but the Malibu/G6/Aura should only be counted once, not three times.

Tundra prices are higher to begin with, so I doubt they're selling them for any less than a similarly equipped Ford or GM pickup.
