"Toyota had its worst month in 16 years due to lack of perceived value and the world's largest recall in history."
That is not the reason. The reason is because Japan suffered the largest tsunami in 100 years, which in turn shut down a lot of their suppliers and factories. That's the reason - not because suddenly people changed their minds. That GM can temporarily reclaim the top spot has absolutely nothing to do with anything other than the outcome of an unfortunate natural disaster.
Either way, this argument is tired and old and frankly I'm tired of reading the same comments. For those of you who hate "foreign" cars - even when so many American cars are now actually imported - fine. Stop commenting on Toyota reviews. Enough is enough. It accomplishes nothing. My next car will be a Toyota. Nuff' said.

I 100% agree with the above comment. Japanese cars are horrible snot boxes, and I have never met anyone down here in NZ who has had a pleasurable ownership experience. I love GM, and currently own a GM Holden. I used to own a Ford, and I love the Chrylser Sebring, but sadly cannot find one, as they were not a big success down under.
