Toyota, GM post strong sales months

Toyota's U.S. vehicle sales jumped 14.1% in May to its best monthly level ever and General Motors' sales rose 9.7% as both automakers credited in part the appeal of their more fuel-efficient offerings as gas prices remained high, according to USA Today.For the month, Toyota outsold Ford, which saw sales fall 6.9% as it continued to cut low-profit sales to rental companies. Nissan's sales gained 7.4% and DaimlerChrysler's sales rose 3.9% with help from a 20% jump in its Jeep brand.
