I only do so for the benefit of the not so clever, one-eyed toyota fans. For VW to make No. 1 they will win sales from most manufacturers. The point being made is Toyota is the focal point since they moved into No. 1. It is the Toyota model that will be under study as obviously it works. GM and Ford ect. also have something to contribute, but in order to be first you gotta beat the best, not second best. Oh my, I'm spent with the obvious statements! Ahhh coffee to the rescue: caffeine, my drug of choice! To assume GM and Ford won’t lose sales over Volkswagen’s sales ambitions is so ludicrous that I can’t believe I’m typing it.

This is happening on almost every damn article and it was old 3 years ago. Caradvice, get rid of these fanboys and keep the comments objective or at the very least *informative*. "Toyota are the best!" "Nah-uh" "A-huh" FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD. Did you turn 5 yesterday? Did I ask for a sales pitch? GET OVER IT.

“Toyota are the best!”
“Nah-uh”

FOR CRYIN’ OUT LOUD. Did you turn 5 yesterday? Did I ask for a sales pitch? GET OVER IT.

Same can be said of Toyota seriously courting GM to build Prius in California! And all those numbnuts who bagged GM and Ford for quality and whatnot....now Toyota want to join em! So much for a strong hug company as aint happening here! They have to bed others to suceed as cant do on "OWN"! Good on VW for forging forward and chasing number 1 spot.

Apart from full ownership of Lexus and Scion, Toyota has a little more then 50% interest in Hino and Diahatsu each, 18% in Subaru and minor stakes in Isuzu and Yamaha. As you can see, Toyota is well connected. Oh yeah – Toyota has industry ties with Panasonic and owns approx 25% in Denso previously known as Nippon-Denso.

Toyota is strong and has the skill, resources, $$$$ , ambition and marketing to remain strong. Thinking that GM and Ford will not take a hit becuase of VW's intentions really is down right stupid. I like VW, they make great cars and have alot of potential but fact is, stating that they want to be No.1 is the easy part - exhibiting the substance to actually be able to do achieve that goal is a whole different league. The first challenge for VW believe it or not is to improve thier quality. Great cars i agree but they do not rate to well in Quality / Customer Satisfaction Surveys and that is at thier current capacity before increasing production ... mmm !!

For the ignorant, that means it's not looking at GM but has Toyota clearly in its sights. With a new ute and mid-sized SUV in it's line up, it's well on it's way. With industry ties to Sanyo, the future is exciting. Go hard VW - quality, efficiency, value and style will win the race. Just please sort your Aussie dealerships out!

'VW' vs 'The World' like all other manufactuers. Toyota has the reputation, fleet / diversity, resources and above all - $$$'s to part-take in stiff and enduring competition which is much, much more i can comment about General Motors and Ford Motor Corporation. Maybe you should re-think your comment in context of the real world and not la, la, land !! Toyota is a more powerful outfit then you would care about ... FACT !!
