Looks like Toyota will pass GM in 2006. I think the Hyundai-Kia Group will pass DaimlerChrysler by 2010.

Not necessarily new figures......the stats I've seen showed Hyundai-Kia in 6th place for some time now. But this post just helps verify it that much more.....thanks.

Needless to say, there are three big reasons for that huge increase in sales.....newfound quality, low prices, and a superb warranty. Hyundai needs to keep all three...if they start screwing up in one or more of these they will tumble right back down again.

It's hard to believe Honda is so far down the list!

Why is it I see more Hondas than Nissas and they are number 9?

Because it's WW sales, not US sales.

Nissan does do better than Honda in most markets.
