"It looks like GM is going to hang on by the skin of its teeth this year," said Nigel Griffiths, a London-based analyst for forecaster Global Insight Inc. "We see GM still ahead by about 105,000 units at year end. Next year, we have Toyota ahead by 200,000."
Halfway through 2005, GM led Toyota by about 600,000 vehicles. The lead dropped to 260,000 at the end of last year.
Yes, you must be very proud.

We'll see how funny this all is next year. I don't see how any American can find it funny that Ford or GM are in serious trouble and thousands of people are loosing jobs.
