Toyota Motor Corp. released its tally for global vehicle sales for last year Monday at a record 9.748 million vehicles — a bigger number than the estimate it gave last month of about 9.7 million vehicles. 

It was already clear Toyota had dethroned General Motors Co. as the Detroit-based automaker fell short, selling 9.29 million vehicles.

GM had been the top-selling automaker for more than seven decades before losing the title to Toyota in 2008.

GM retook the sales crown in 2011, when Toyota’s production was hurt by the quake and tsunami in northeastern Japan.

The latest results show Toyota’s powerful comeback.

Global vehicle sales for the maker of the Camry sedan, Prius hybrid and Lexus luxury model surged nearly 23 percent from the previous year. Overseas sales jumped 19 percent, while sales in Japan, where the economy has been troubled, recovered a whopping 35 percent.

Volkswagen AG of Germany, the world’s No. 3 automaker, sold a record 9.1 million vehicles around the world.

All three automakers play down the significance of the sales ranking and say they are focused on making attractive products.

‘‘Rather than going after numbers, we hope to make fine products, one by one, to keep out customers satisfied. The numbers are just a result of our policy. And our policy will continue unchanged,’’ said Toyota spokeswoman Shino Yamada.

Still, the recovery for Toyota is impressive. Like other Japanese automakers, Toyota’s production was devastated by the March 2011 disasters, which disrupted supplies of crucial components. Flooding in Thailand, where Toyota has factories, also hurt car production.

Before that, it struggled against a crisis of massive recalls in the U.S. over defective floor mats, gas pedals and brakes, involving millions of vehicles, some recalled over and over, that hurt its reputation for quality.

Toyota officials have vowed to scrutinize quality, and have held back product development to minimize recalls.

From the middle of last year, it was hit by another kind of problem — a widespread boycott of Japanese products, including Toyota cars, in China over a territorial dispute.

But sales growth in other parts of the world, including the U.S. and Asian nations such as Indonesia and India, was more than enough to offset such losses.

Toyota is planning to sell 9.91 million vehicles globally in 2013, putting it back on track toward its earlier goal of 10 million vehicles — a target that it had made a special effort to play down after its recall crisis.

Car Wrap

Car wrapping will soon be introduced in the USA and the UK from the Netherlands. This is good news for car owners and auto enthusiasts who have to coat their cars after incidents like minor car accidents, vandalism or simply the wearing and tearing of its shine and color. The spokes person of this new business site Vinyl Car Wraps said: “We are the number one car wrapping shop online in the Netherlands and we are opening our online shop very soon in the UK and US”” 

Car wrapping simply means wrapping one’s car with a car wrapping foil to give it back its original color and shine. It is vastly cheaper than car spray despite the fact that most users swear that car wrapping foil definitely protects their car coat and makes it look dazzling and new. Vinyl Car Wraps Online is soon launching its website and business knowing that most car owners in the USA and the UK are all potential clients of their services and product. Car wrap vinyl used to be unavailable for the ordinary car owner but today this innovation is available for less than 250 Euros if one wants something the size of the Volkswagen Golf looking like new again. Thus, an ordinary regular sized car will only cost about 275 Euros to about 350 Euros depending on one’s cars size and the car wrapping foil it needs to make it look brand new once more.

The company will also sell car wrap vinyl and car wrapping foils to customers who choose to do the work on their car by themselves. Thus, DIY (Do It Yourself) car wrapping is expected to be the next trend in car maintenance. 

For instance, those who buy new cars can make sure that their car color will not fade despite constant use and weather because this company offers one of the strongest brands of car wrapping foil. Even restorers of vintage cars need not be wary of having their antique autos car wrapped because this car wrapping foil is made of extremely thin vinyl. The car wrapping foil is made up of several flexible layers and can be smoothed easily in case mistakes are made in applying it on own car. 

The secret of this car wrapping, according to this company, is both the flexibility and the capability of the car wrapping vinyl foil to stick thoroughly and snugly even in parts of the car that seem difficult to reach. Another advantage is that the car color does not change despite weather conditions and if minor accidents occur like a “car scratch” it is relatively easy to take off that part of the foil and put another one over it. 

Car wrapping is now available for all who wish to have their cars, bikes, yachts, motorcycles and other metal or chrome items looking brand new again.
