In response to the recent troubles plaguing Toyota, auto-industry authority Edmunds has altered is \u201910 sales forecast, shifting units from Toyota onto the other automakers. They even predict that the shift in sales will propel Ford back into the number two spot, as far as U.S. sales are concerned, a spot that Toyota took from Ford in 2007.<\/p>\n
