Volkswagen has become the world’s third largest carmaker outselling Ford. According to the latest sales figures, VW Group delivered 3.31 million vehicles in the first half of the year, with Ford delivering 3.22 million. Remember only in 2004 Ford lost the second spot to the japanese car maker Toyota. The worsening sales in US is hitting the American major very badly. Toyota is marching towards the no 1 spot by selling 280,000 units more than the General Motors globally during the first six months of 2008.
