Toyota was ahead of the curve on hybrids, low mileage cars, and lots of other thing. A Toyota Distributorship is the largest employer in our town, and they make a lot of cars here.
The American pride thing is great, but they are doing more to get us off foreign oil than the domestic brands.
I'd go for Toyota. Also, they are now the best-selling brand of car here. |

GM looks like one of the most overvalued stocks at the moment...(http://stocksalad.com) |

Without the politics of US vs foreign debate (TM) Toyota is a better stock. |

I have to admit, regrettably, that I would have to invest in Toyota given the option of the two. A couple of reasons, maybe more than a couple. 1. The yen is way undervalued so every dollar Toyota makes selling cars in the U S converts into a lot of yen, euros too. 2. Their products have the perception of being superior. I am not certain that I buy that crap but nevertheless it is true. 3. Technologically, they are 5 years ahead of GM. 4. GM has so much in unfunded liabilities that I do not see how they will ever make any money again and all those workers are retiring. 5. GM has been mismanaged for about 30 years and there does not appear to be any change in direction. 6. SUVs and pickup trucks. People are going to eventually get wise that these gas hogs are costing them their food on the table. They may have already. How many vehicles does GM actually make that get over 35 miles per gallon? |

Toyota stocks are way to high for an automotive company over a hundred per share.Gm stocks are around thirty and soon to climb.Their management picked up a lot of chrsler guys who went thru the ups and downs with chrysler in the ninetys and are well suited in aiding gm in their current slump towards turnaround.Bob Lutz is the head of north american operations and is an old and smart car guy the Vipers daddy.He is starting to embrace fuel efficient technology and I'm willing to bet he'll find a way to do it without giving us the gutless wonders of toyota.Toyota has been having qualilty issues with a lot of recalls more than should be considered acceptable.Toyota has definetly been helped by the rising cost of gas.On the hybrid front toyota might have been first on the seen but I'm sure when some of the other hybrid ideas reach the showroom theirs won't be so appealling anymore.As I have said toyotas stock price is to high and in the future I would expect at least a twenty dollar per share drop but probably more in the order of forty dollars per share placing it in the eightys per share.I would be willing to bet this will happen within the next five years but could be as soon as 08. |

If you like the idea of a company that is losing market share, is over its head in debt, and saddled with obligations for benefits from past labor agreements that prevent making money on the products they sell, then GM is a good choice for you.
I like their product, but sad to say, you should invest in their competitor - Toyota. |

I would absolutely invest in Toyota. Most of the cars sold here are made here by NON-UNION workers. This helps a lot becuase the labor force adds $1500+ per car to GMs cost. GM makes a terrible product on the car side (with the exception of the Corvette and Hummer) and it's not getting better. Toyota just surpassed GM in global sales and is crushing the market in hybrids. Additionally GM has GMAC sub prime loans out there and we know how well sub prime is doing. |

Definitely Toyota.
It is sad but true Toyota seems to be more American today than GM. Toyota takes care of their "customers" and their "employees" better than GM. Unprecidented for any Japanese companies Toyota now has an American on their Board. Doing excellent business here in America, creating jobs for Americans. |

GM
Toyota make money by making and selling cars.
GM make SOME money by making and selling cars, but also by selling a range of financial services, including consumer vehicle financing, automotive dealership and other commercial financing, residential mortgage services, automobile service contracts, personal automobile insurance coverage, and commercial insurance coverage. In addition, the company offers after sale services, such as maintenance, light repairs, collision repairs, and vehicle accessories. If they can whip their car-making business back into shape, they'll be golden! |

The quick and easy answer is that GM is in the pooper and Toyota is doing remarkably well. I would personally put my money in Toyota WAY before I invested in GM.
The American car companies will have to do something completely different to actually do well in the market. And that will probably take years and years of dropping stock prices before that will happen. |

1) Toyota
2) GM did not make any money last year. |

How much money do you have - split the fund you have and invest in both and see which does better in 3 months. Personally I would choose GM because it is an American company (basically) and I would rather support American jobs here then overseas, out of the two but they are both up and down but in the long run each will probably grow. |
