Toyota announced its group sales numbers first.

The car maker's sales were up 6% last year to 9.37 million vehicles.

GM's figures are not out yet.

Toyota sold 7.1 million cars overseas, up 10%.

Sales in Japan were down 4%.

Do you think it makes any difference, other than prestige, or bragging rights if Toyota were to become the number one car seller?
