Source: Toyota | August 2012 Sales Chart It will take a couple of days for the Dashboard report that breaks it down by model. Still, not half bad. Bob Wilson
amazing how well auto's in general are selling in this continued recession. hopefully, people are smartening up and buying more fuel efficient vehicles.

Thanks for the breakdown Sergiospi. The only other number not yet reported in this thread I found interesting was TMS marketshare in the US for august is 14.7%.
Funny you should ask this: Here is something that caught my eye last night: Source: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/05/business/august-us-car-sales.html?_r=1 It sounds like good news but it begs a more detailed analysis. Looking at Toyota's sales chart and Gasbuddy's fuel costs might help explain what is going on. I'll have to cut out the Tsunami year but there are plenty of data records to use. Bob Wilson
