TORRANCE, Calif.

, Sept. 4 -- Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc., today reported August sales of 233,471 vehicles, a decrease of 2.8 percent from August 2006.

"Reduced credit tied to the subprime squeeze challenged consumer confidence this month," said Jim Lentz, TMS executive vice president. "We're holding our own on the strength of a strong dealer body, sustained brand loyalty and a lineup of fresh quality products."

The Toyota Division posted August sales of 201,272, down 3.7 percent from last August. The Lexus Division reported best-ever August sales of 32,199 units, an increase of 3.6 percent.

How did I know someone was going to post this crap. I was watching this on CNN this morning. The funny thing is, they said that overall sales have increased 4%.

I am not a Toyota fanboy(You probably know nothing about history since you don't know what Auto union means!), actually I am not a fanboy. I like all good cars just prefer Audi brand because it suits me most.

SUPER for GM! I hope Toyota and the other Asians lose every mounts a lot US-Customers. The economical cars comes only from the Americans and Germans. Japanese cars and suvs are allways Gas-Guzzler. In Europe you can`t buy a Toyota with big engines. Buy only Diesels in USA and you save the world. Thank you for help to save the world.

these are ONLY sales for august. ytd, toyota is still UP.

and in any case, while toyota was down 3.7% for this august vs. august 2006 (which happened to be UP 17% from aug. 2005!)...

lexus was UP 3.6%. including a gain of over 100% for the LS.

i'm sure the toyota people are crying all the way to the bank! ;)
