Tundra overtook GMC Sierra in US Sales???

Say it isn't so...

I think the last time I looked, Toyota sold 200,000 +/- Tundras in 2007.

I knew that was pretty good for an "import" but, little did I know it might have taken out one of the biggies..

Jan 08 only sold 12,073 Tundra's. The numbers might end up being down from last year if this continues, we will see.

The Pinto, the Mustang II and Chia Pets sold like a house a'fire as well. That doesn't mean that any of them were really good.

It's kind of a stupid comparison really, basically combine GMC and Chevy trucks combined. It's like ordering a FX-4 to a Lariat 4x4, cosmetic differences between the GMC and Chevy is about it. GMC's cost more I think for more bells and whistles. Either way, Toyota sold too many so far.

At least the yoda's canned this ugly rear end on their trucks. They do everything backwards, the fronts are uglier now versus before, now the backs are better now than then. This truck in the ebay listing shown has THE butt ugliest rear I've seen yet, check it:

Who grafted a Solara or wtf car on the rear of this truck? No wonder it's rare. Another GMC vote here, I'd get one either reg cab or extended, not crew though.

I've got a few Chia Pets myself... including a Chia Head.

However I doused some gasoline on my Chia pet and lit it on fire, and it burned like a house a'fire too...

Something about those Chia pets.
