The big three on the way to the top!

OK, so I got totally excited about this bit of news and needed to share it with y’all. With Toyota taking a major tumble with all their recalls, this has helped the American car makers climb back on top.

Ford announced that they had a 25 percent increase in sales this quarter and GM and Chrysler had jumps of 16 and 14 percent!

Meanwhile, Toyota which had always been touted as a brand of quality took a 16 percent nosedive in sales. And Toyota’s spin doctors have been hard at work trying to revamp the image of the auto giant with warm, fuzzy commercials aimed at improving their beaten down image. But unfortunately today it has been announced that Corolla is also now part of a new recall.

Brands like Chrysler are offering special incentives for those who currently own a Toyota and want to trade it in. Ford and GM are also offering special financing offers also.

It looks like Toyota might have a tough year but for American auto makers, well they might just be sitting pretty.
