    After turning in profits for consecutive quarters of 2011, General Motors regained the global sales crown for 2011. Buoyed by an upswinging Chevrolet brand that saw growth in many of global markets, GM reported sales of more than 9 million units, a gain of over 7% compared to last year's sales. Chevrolet brand accounted approx. 4.8 million units. General Motors reports that it gained the global market share by 4th of a percent during 2011 to 11.9 percent.

    I called this one...

    No surprise to me that this happened, but as I said back when Toyota unseated GM, don't count on anyone hanging on to the sales title for very long anymore. GM's record in holding the title for decades is unlikely ever to be matched.

    You were not so sure about this when they killed Pontiac. See the Sun still comes up. LOL!

    No, the sun went dark and has stayed that way since they killed Pontiac.

    I would rather see GM have the most profit and cash flow than #1 in sales. #1 in sales makes you the hunted..... not the hunter. Best to let Toyota or VW be #1 in sales and let them deal with all the scrutiny the media will bring upon them.

      Ditto to both ... I have heard one person make the comparison to the Lambo and it was during the time I had the rental. It's not very upright and I had my issue with the height of the door opening when entering and exiting the car.  It initially was VERY upright and kind of frumpy looking.

      INTERIOR PHOTOS View of the front of the cabin from the driver's door ... this gives a clearer view of how the 2 main screens are placed on the dashboard View of the front of the cabin from the passenger's door This is the main instrument pod and, around the speed readout, the distribution of important data is clear (which seems to be how many pods are now organized, which is appreciated because setting up Bluetooth and all the controls takes a slight amount of time).  There are also green indicators for "ready" and "EV" mode At times, I did not care for the race car type vantage point from where seated and it took adjustment of the seat and the tilt steering wheel to get it closer to one's comfort level The console is clean and simple in its layout It's a tug to the left and forward for reverse ... and a tug to the left and rearward for drive This is the rear seating area of the passenger cabin I do like the roofline and the gullwing feature in the rear door ... this shows what over the shoulder visibility looks like The rear storage area is respectable and, with the roofline, it seems a little more vertical, so it was advantageous to put luggage on its sides Thankfully, there is this cover over the rear and its texture and attachment is similar to other cars ... and, in Toyota, it was similar to the one in their economy car Aygo that they sell in Europe

      EXTERIOR PHOTOS Side view ... and some palm trees Angled front view Angled rear view ... note the interesting taillamp arrangement Low-slung, sports car appearance, yet it's a practical small HEV sedan that's come a long way

      This is not good for them and continues to show how terribly run Tesla is. Oil and gas supplier says Tesla is ‘refusing to pay’ $2 million in past-due bills – and that chaotic staffing has only made it worse
