While other automakers continued to see mostly flat sales last month, Toyota Motor Corp. reported its best September ever in each of its divisions.
The world?s most profitable automaker reported a 25% increase in retail sales ? the best in the industry ? compared with the same month last year.
The automaker reported sales of 222,950 vehicles in September, up from 178,417 vehicles in the same month last year.
Car sales were up 18.4% in September over the same month in 2005. September truck sales rose 34.9% in year-over-year comparisons.
?While crossovers, hybrids and small cars continue to show strength, our SUVs and full-size trucks also posted solid gains,? Jim Lentz, executive vice president of Toyota?s U.S. sales arm, said in a news release. "It's the breadth of our lineup that enables us to satisfy today?s buyers."
For the first nine months of the year, Toyota?s sales are up 12.5% to 1.93 million from 1.71 million last year.
