Toyota and Ford Report Strong Sales in China

SHANGHAI - Toyota and Ford, two of the world’s three largest auto makers, reported strong first-half sales in China’s fast-growing market, where as relative newcomers they are competing to roll out new models to attract customers.

Toyota Motor Corp. sold 212,000 vehicles during the period, up 77 percent from a year earlier, powered by brisk demand for its Camry sedans, the best-selling car in the United States in eight of the past nine years.

Toyota, the world’s biggest car maker, rolled out its first China-made Camry in May 2006 from a new plant in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou, to wrest customers away from competing models such as Honda Motor’s Accord.
