i just heard the GM commercial, so if legal action was taken by ford, it didn't shut down the commercial.

BTW i hate to burst anyone's bubble, but i don't see toyota getting smothered out by gm or ford anyday soon. toyota has a slim selection of trucks, but that is not what they rely on to turn a profit. their bread and butter is the car market. if they come out with a kick but truck like i think they can, watch out. I think they have the resources to put the hurts on ford and gm both.

Chevy did outsell Ford, by all comparative measures. Get used to it.
Toyota will steal market share from them all - watch and learn.

Excerpt from Automotive News, February 20, 2006:
Sales reflect cars and light trucks, and that is the industry's standard for determining the leader. Polk's registrations include all trucks - light, medium and heavy. Ford sells more than four times as many medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks - such as the Ford F-350 - as Chevrolet.

Since 1975, car and light-truck sales, as reported by the manufacturers, have been the official source of the annual totals. There is no compelling reason to change that procedure.

Dealers count a sale when it is made. Polk does not count it until the registration shows up at the state motor vehicle department and that department reports it to Polk. That may be several days after the sale, the following year in the case of a late-December sale.
