Also wouldn't be surprising to see Honda go past them (8 - 24 months) and Hyundai pull in right behind them ( 24 - 48 months ) in NA.
It depends, if they have available capacity for cars, then they will sell them all, otherwise it will be rough. Honda used up all of their supply in May and June and they won't have another big month unless they can increase output which doesn't seem very likely because when you already run near 100%, there isn't much to exceed. Thus, Toyota is screwed if their car plants are maxed out, because it will be a while before they can increase output.
