Well I'll be dern: Toyoto Falls Behind Ford.

Ford Motor's vehicle sales fell 32% last month, but the healthiest of Detroit's auto makers outsold Toyota in the U.S. for the first time in at least a year. It is possible that Ford’s decision not to take billions of dollars in federal aid may have improved its image.

From The Wall Street Journal:

Every major auto maker reported dramatic declines from year-earlier levels. Toyota Motor Co., with a 42% slide, fell behind Ford Motor Co. in the monthly tally for the first time since early 2008, even as Ford's sales fell 32%. GM sales dropped 33% and Chrysler registered a 48% decline. Honda Motor Co. saw its U.S. sales drop 25% and Nissan Motor Co. was off 38%.
