Toyota is expected to report $4.5 billion in profits for the quarter ended in June, which would be triple General Motors‘ announcement of $1.4 billion.

The old addage “win on Sunday, sell on Monday” seems to apply to more than just racing. After being named the 2013 North American Car of the Year, the Cadillac ATS sport sedan has helped the American luxury brand have its best sales month in 23 years. 

Toyota is set to reclaim the title of world’s largest automaker in 2012 after ceding the title to General Motors last year. 

Toyota might not have announced its final tally for 2011 sales, but it’s safe to assume that GM will take the crown and remain the world’s largest automaker after reporting 9.03-million in global sales for 2011.

Chevrolet has a lot to celebrate after an impressive 2011, having moved 4.76-million vehicles around the world, setting a global sales record. The US was Chevy’s largest market for 2011 with 1,775,812 vehicles sold, a rise of 13-percent from their 2010 figures.

Despite the recent supply shortage that plagued its Cruze production, Chevrolet‘s performance for 2011 set an all-time high sales record for the one hundred year old American automaker. Having sold 4.8 million vehicles worldwide this year through the month of November, December is projected to perform just as well. Overall, Chevrolet gained an additional half a percent of global market share this year. With a diversified market, Chevrolet has been well received in markets like China, Vietnam, Europe, South Korea, and South America.
