The Volkswagen Group is now the world's third-largest car-maker, having overtaken Ford.

Figures for sales for the first sixth months of 2008 have just been released: Toyota is in the top spot, having sold 4.82 million cars in this period, with long-time leader General Motors trailing behind with 4.54 million.

Volkswagen - including the Audi, Seat and Skoda brands - sold 3.31 million, a 7.2% increase, while Ford sales fell by 11% to 3.09 million.

Ford's sales total has been reduced by the sell-off of the Jaguar and Land Rover brands, as well as the decline in demand for its big trucks and SUVs in North America.

GM has also suffered from the changes to the market, but has retained its lead in the United States despite an 18.2% fall in American sales.
