Thus the results of projections revealed by IHS Global Insight and quoted by Forbes, Tuesday (27/12/2011).

Following the Japanese earthquake and flood Thailand, Toyota must be willing to give up the number one position to the GM and Volkswagen. Toyota had previously been the number one car manufacturer in the world in 2008.

Toyota could become number one again after recovering its production capacity in the country such as China, Brazil. These two countries are included that provide the highest figures.

"The reason Toyota is losing sales figures this year because they could not produce cars. Now they can. So it's possible they return to the top," said Satoru Takada, an analyst from Tiw

Even so, Toyota President Akio Toyoda said earlier, Toyota is not interested in the race to be the biggest carmaker in the world. While VW has vowed to become the top in 2018 with a sales target to 10 million units.

Toyota in 2011 is certainly losing crown as top automobile manufacturers. But next year, Toyota is expected to re-take his crown easily.

Porsche 911 and Toyota Prius're managed to get a gold trophy in two different categories in Germany

An organization in Germany called by Technischer Uberwachungsverei abbreviated TUV, have diagnostic equipment to check for new vehicles after the third year and conduct the examination again after the next two years.

If your vehicle fails the first round then he will send the vehicle to a repair shop. If after repair still failed the test the feasibility of the road, the vehicle will be sent to landfills junkyard.

For this year, after making as many as 7,779,312 million inspections, Porsche 911 and Toyota Prius're managed to get a gold trophy in two different categories. As the 'local' cars, the Porsche 911 is very tough even after the use of more than 10 years. It's a very practical vehicle design so that the vehicle is easily repaired.

Meanwhile, the Toyota Prius which has a complex system occupies the highest ratings in the category of three years, beating his own brother, the Toyota Auris and Mazda2.

While the assessment of the worst falls Dacia Logan who failed in a three-year category with a 12.7% rate which puts it in the final sequence, while the Ford Ka. After reaching the age of 10 years, Ford's small car failed to obtain a certificate of TUV with the number 38.9%.

Actually, by the age of 10 years is quite reasonable if a vehicle could no longer approach the early performance, but because this is a very strict German rules, it becomes different.

If we lived in Germany, have a reliable car is a necessity to be able to roll on the highway. Because you will not be allowed to bring your car to serve targeted highway if the vehicle does not meet the requirements set by the government.
