                 Japanese Automaker Toyota Still No. 1 in World

   by VOA News

   Japanese-based Toyota Motor Corporation said it sold 10.15 million
   vehicles worldwide in 2015, making it the world's top-selling automaker
   for the fourth consecutive year.

   Toyota, the maker of such popular models as the Prius hybrid and Camry
   sedan, outpaced Germany's Volkswagen AG, which finished with 9.93
   million vehicle sales, and U.S.-based General Motors, which came in
   third with 9.8 million.

   Volkswagen had overtaken Toyota in total sales in the first half of
   2015 before it became engulfed in a scandal over revelations that it
   had installed devices in its vehicles designed at dodging pollution
   tests.

   Toyota ended GM's decades-long hold as the world's No. 1 automaker in
   2008, but lost that position in 2011 after the deadly earthquake and
   subsequent tsunami disrupted its production and supply chains.
