Ok, now this is said with a lot of Tongue in cheek, because even though MSN has reported this, along with various other news reports, it is only one month. (LOL)
I own a Toyota truck, so of course I pay attention to that stuff.
But, if I learned anything, it may not be a good time to buy Toyota right now, more than likely, to get the better deal, GM! ;)they will have to lower their prices in order to get their quota back up.

Well one of my family members works in GM, so I had heard this one already, and it didn't make me happy :( (obviously, my loyalty lies with GM, hehehehe)

I hope GM catches up, I really do! They're actually learning some crucial lessons from Toyota, but I just hope they apply them fast enough before any damage is done. One month is too short a time to be deciding who's doing better anyway, don't you think??

Absolutely. However, now would be a great time to buy GM, I think!
I actually went to the Toyota dealership yesterday to look at cars. What was most suprising, is that they didn't even want to sell me a decent Toyota, they tried selling me a banged up model, as is. (ROFLOL) however, I did give them a price guideline. My credit is good, but I had offered a 3,000 downpayment on the vehicle. you know, for lower payments.
however, after seeing that banged up car, and then having the dealership try selling me a Suzuki, instead of a Toyota made me think twice about it.
I guess I'll be looking at GM, and what they are selling right now, my father owned a GM he was quite proud of, and it ran great, as well. the "Toyota runs better" is just a bunch of hype.
and, if you think 15 mpg is saving you a bunch of money, I think GM can do the same, or better.
