the Toyota production system. I was determined to succeed at nummi, and I put all of my effort into the challenge. You know when you take two big companies in two different nations, in two different parts of the world, with two different cultures, two different manufacturing processes, how do you pull that together in a working team and a working relationship? They asked the UAW to be part of that it was going to be a new day and those of us who were interested in coming back to work in this facility that we would have to come in with a new mind.

Wilf I'm going to start this report with the stat of the day, one that you probably don't hear very often. You certainly haven't heard it since 1998. Take a look at shares of Toyota. Why are we starting with Toyota? Because Toyota in the second quarter was the top selling automaker in the U.S. outselling General Motors at the first time since 1998 that GM has not been number one in quarterly sales.
