Toyota in the Big 3?
Ever since I can remember the biggest three automobile manufacturers in the Unites States have been GM(Chevy, Pontiac, GMC,...), Ford, and Chrysler(Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep,...). However, now somebody else has crept their way onto the scene. Some expect Toyota to pass GM within the year to be the number one manufacturer world wide. They are also saying that it is not a question of if Toyota will pass Chrysler, but when Toyota will pass Chrysler as the third largest manufacturer in the United States. So what could be causing this change? Could it be the continuing rises in gas prices that shifts the market to a much less gasoline using brand of cars, could it be that Toyota is making a better automobile than the others, or is it that the other automobile manufacturers are slacking off and not making as good of vehicles as they used to?

I think that it is a combination of things that are causing Toyota to be surpassing these three well known automobile dealers. Yes the gas prices are a major reason for Toyota vehicles being bought. Toyota may very well be making a better car than GM and Chrysler, but are they making better cars, or are they making cheaper cars?
Toyotas are one of the best ways to go with gas prices being as high as they are today. I think this is the underlying reason for why they are rising into the top 3.
Toyota is well known for its more fuel efficient vehicles than the other companies named in the article. The popularity of these vehicles will most likely continue to rise along with the rise in gas prices. People will always turn to the solution that makes them the best off, exploiting it for as long as possible. It makes sense that people would go for the vehicles that will save them the most money in the long run.
