Brand New School is responsible for this delightful Toyota RAV4 commercial called “Fold Out”. As you might guess, the name comes from the various expanding features of the Toyota RAV4 and Brand New School illustrates this with a wonderful set of accordion-like environments and places.

AdAge confirmed it today in an article citing specific sales numbers from General Motors and Toyota. As of today, Toyota is now the official #1 automaker in the world, putting GM in the #2 spot. In 2008, Toyota sold 8.97 million vehicles compared to GM’s 8.36 million. For over 70 years, GM has reined at the top spot in worldwide sales even though their US sales haven’t been hot since at least 2004.

We certainly are living in interesting times. I wonder if GM will ever take the top spot worldwide ever again.
