Toyota is king of global sales for the second year in row!
Toyota has sold more vehicles than any other automaker in
2012 and 2013; in 2013, Toyota 9.98 million units. In 2014 Toyota expects to
sell ten million units.
As a sound company, this means Toyota’s profits were also in
the lead, out-earning General Motors and Volkwagen combined (number two and
three in sales, respectively).
“What Toyoda has been doing is to go back to Toyota’s
original philosophy and focus on products and long-term goals,” said Kota
Yuzawa, an analyst at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. in Tokyo. “Last year was the
first year his efforts began to bear fruits. The product cycle has just started
and they can probably continue to roll out good products and give us good
numbers.”
Locally, here at Burien Toyota, we want to thank everyone in
the Puget Sound area for their part in making Toyota the number one sold brand
in the world.
“It’s a very competitive market,” said Ted Klarch, general
sales manager at Burien Toyota. “All cars are getting better, safer, more
efficient, and include more technology. To be number one for the second year in
a row is quite an accomplishment. We are proud to be part of a company and
brand that people obviously love and come back to.”
The U.S. market/sales plays a big role in Toyota’s sales
supremacy. According to this article at IndyStar.com, “U.S. sales of Toyota,
Lexus and Scion models rose 7.4 percent last year to 2.24 million, the most
since its 2007 record year in its largest market. The Camry sedan fended off
competition from Honda Motor Co.’s Accord, Nissan Motor Co.’s Altima and Ford
Motor Co’s Fusion sedan to remain the top- selling U.S. car for a 12th
consecutive year, as the weaker yen gave Toyota room to offer higher incentives
for the model.”
