Toyota Reclaims Sales Crown from General Motors in the First Quarter of 2012



In 2011, some two years after it went into bankruptcy, General Motors managed to recoup the top spot as the world's largest automaker, no thanks to Toyota's production problems that stemmed from the tsunami and other natural disasters that hit Asia last year.

Now, with Toyota having solved most of its problems, the Japanese carmaker is on pace to reclaim its sales crown.
