The funeral of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il triggered a suitably elaborate procession in Pyongyang. Immense crowds in the tens of thousands braved freezing temperatures to bid the leader farewell as a parade of classic Mercedes-Benz and Lincoln limousines rolled through the city’s snow-covered streets. According to news reports, citizens were enlisted to help clear the 40-mile parade route of deep snow ahead of the carefully choreographed procession. Only a few military vehicles were on hand flanking the leader’s funeral hearse. An additional artillery salute is scheduled for Thursday alongside a three-minute moment of silence followed by the nation’s trains and sea vessels sounding their horns in unison at noon.

Kim Jong-il’s youngest son, Kim Jong-un, is expected to take control of the country with his aunt, Kim Kyong-hui, and his uncle, Jang Song-thaek serving in advisory roles. Kim Jong-un is expected to continue to push his father’s military-first policy as the country moves toward becoming a legitimate nuclear power. Hit the jump to watch videos of the procession and check out our gallery below.

Toyota is expected to see a significant decline in output as a result of the disaster.Given the negative impact on Toyota from the Japanese earthquake and tsunami, GM will almost certainly regain the sales lead this year. But can it keep up the momentum?
