Toyota said it was targeting global sales of 9.8 million vehicles in 2008, which would pull it past General Motors to become the world's biggest automaker in terms of sales, The Wall Street Journal reported. GM sold 9.2 million vehicles in 2005. This year, Toyota expects to produce 8.85 million vehicles worldwide.
Japan's biggest automaker also forecast that its net income for the half-year period to Sept. 30 would jump 31.6% from its original forecast to ÃÂ¥500 billion ($4.3 billion). In the same period a year earlier, the company posted a net profit of ÃÂ¥283.6 billion.
