Toyota which had received the title of being world's biggest automaker has failed to retain the title which had sold 10.175 million vehicles worldwide in 2016, fewer than Volkswagen which sold 10.31 million. The development is indeed a milestone achievement despite the taint to Volkswagen's reputation that had been at stake over a huge scandal over cheating on emissions tests. However, General Motors is yet to table it's sales report next week and if General Motors falls short, then the the title of being world's biggest automaker will go to time the German automaker for the first time. Toyota Motor Corp had the auto crown for the past four years, although it fell behind General Motors in 2011, when production was hit by a quake and tsunami in northeastern Japan.
