Whoops! Toyota’s Still Number One

Looks like the announcement earlier this week that VW was the world’s top-selling automakers was premature.  Turns out Toyota still holds the crown.  The VW numbers included sales from partner companies, including those which the German giant holds only a small stake in.  By using the same standard, Toyota’s overall sales would run at a rate of just under five million vehicles–or a half-million more than VW.  Anyone else think this is over-complicating a very simple question: Who’s selling the most cars?
