Sad that Chevy can't manage a single car in the top 10. List excludes truck sales. Would look a little different if trucks were included.

Toyota is shutting down it's production plant in California that they used in conjunction with GM. Only plant on the west coast.

Even more impressive. How does one keep so many machines in tune....

At one time I owned a '79 Honda XR 75 and later a '01 KTM 400 EXC too. KTM when I lived out in Colorado Springs and Truckee, CA. What a blast that thing was. Great desert bike....loved it.
