NEW YORK — Toyota sold more cars and trucks worldwide than any other automaker last year, seizing the crown General Motors held for 77 years.
But with its overall sales having fallen for the first time in 10 years and the entire industry mired in a slump, there’s little for the Japanese company to celebrate.
GM said Wednesday it sold 8.35 million cars and trucks around the world in 2008, falling about 616,000 vehicles short of the 8.97 million Toyota announced Tuesday.
