جنرال موتورز الامريكيه اصبحت الثانيه رسميا بعد خلاف و جدل كبير العام الفائت ان كانت الاولى او الثانيه

اصبح الوضع هذا العام يقين ان تويوتا اليابانيه هي الاولى بفارق تجاوز ال 600 الف سياره

و اليكم الخبر

Detroit-based automaker General Motors held the title of world’s largest automaker for nearly 77 years, but with a 10.6 percent drop in worldwide sales last year, the automaker was forced to relinquish the title to Japan’s Toyota. GM sold about 616,000 fewer cars across the globe than did Toyota.

GM President Fritz Henderson told industry journal Automotive News that the title wasn’t “terribly important” to him and that GM’s financial footing took priority over the title. The automaker did boast itself as “the annual global industry sales leader for 77 years” on its website until earlier this morning.

There’s little reason for major celebration in Japan, however: Toyota’s sales were down about 4 percent last year and the automaker says it won’t post a profit for the first time in more than 50 years.

GM sales were down 22.7 percent in the United States last year, while Toyota’s were down 15.7 percent.

و تعتبر هذه النتائج مثبطه خاصه إذا علمنا ان تويوتا هي الاخرى واجهت مصاعب كبيره هذا العام

و رغم هذا كان هذا الفارق الهائل في المبيعات

GM has announced today that its global sales tally for 2008 has come in at 8.35 million vehicles, which represents a 10.8% decline on 2007’s levels and a substantial 616,000 units short of Toyota’s tally over the same period. Toyota also experienced a sales decline over 2008, with its total dropping 4% over the course of the year to end at 8.97 million units.

In 2008, GM sold 5.37 million vehicles outside the U.S., accounting for 64% of total global sales volume compared with 59% a year ago. This represents a 22.7% decline in sales for GM in the U.S., its single biggest market. Toyota saw a 15.4% decline.

The highlight of GM's U.S. sales performance was the Chevrolet Malibu sedan, which achieved the highest percentage gain in annual sales volume (39%) of any of the top-20 selling vehicles in the country.

Despite achieving record sales in other markets, such as Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific regions, GM could not escape the toll global economic pressures have had on its overall results. Once again, challenges in the global financial markets, including credit tightening, the drop in commodity prices, and economic uncertainty were cited as reasons for the decline.

Incidentally, GM had still labelled itself as the “annual global industry sales leader for 77 years” on its website at the time of today’s announcement.

و يكفي ان تويوتا ستجدد اسطول سياراتها بالكامل من السينشوري الى صغيرتها الجديده iQ

و سيكون هناك عند تويوتا في العام 2012 اكثر من 20 سياره هجين و 3 كهربائيه صرف و 2 خلاياوقود

ترى ما الحل و ماذا سيكون المستقبل بالنسبه للجنرال (صاحب القمه لمده 77 سنه متواصله)
