Vehicle Sales: GM Retook Top Spot from Toyota in the U.S. in 2022
• Toyota had outperformed GM in 2021, the first time the American auto giant had not led on its home turf since 1931.The beginning of each month is a time for receiving announcements from automakers regarding their sales totals. The beginning of each quarter is a time for receiving even more of those announcements, which invariably paint rosy pictures regarding how well models are performing. One guess what the beginning of each year brings? Yep, more announcements.
The Japanese automaker’s reign was thus short-lived - but you can bet that Toyota has not said its last word.

Recall that in January 2009, GM relinquished the number-one spot for vehicles sales worldwide to Toyota, marking the first time in 70 years it had not led the global hit parade. But, it could at least brag about still being number one in the United States.
Unsurprisingly, the Chevrolet Silverado was the most popular model in the GM stable, with 513,354 units sold. Other Chevrolet vehicles registering a strong year were the Equinox SUV and the Malibu sedan .

As a result, the Japanese automaker recorded a 9-percent drop in sales in the United States. Luxury brand Lexus saw its U.S. sales fall by 15 percent in 2022.
