Toyota Canada August sales outpace industry

TOYOTA CANADA - Toyota Canada Inc. (TCI) reported sales of 14,012 Toyota, Lexus and Scion cars, trucks and SUVs in August, 2011 – up 8.9% from the same month the previous year. This included a 29.3% boost to passenger car sales across all three brands, with Lexus luxury passenger sales up 30% for the best ever August.
Supporting Canada’s desire for Toyota vehicles, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada Inc.’s (TMMC) return to 100% production capacity ensures a renewed supply of Canadian-built Corolla, Matrix, RAV4 and RX350 vehicles.
With the pending launch of the all-new Camry, Yaris, Prius v and Scion iQ, the final months of 2011 are shaping up to be very exciting. 
 
“As Toyota’s sales momentum continues, we thank those Canadians who helped us outpace the industry in August,” said Tony Wearing, Managing Director, Toyota Canada Inc. “In addition, the return to 100% production capacity at our Canadian plants means Canadians can shop with confidence for our most popular Toyota models.”
