Toyota is excpeted to sell 70.000 less cars in Japan this year. In USA Toyota has sold less car than expected for 3 months in a row with falling market shares. China market is not very good for Toyota even, not to mention here in Europe, where Lexus is a no brand, and Toyota is suffering a very hard competition since GM-Opel cars, new models from Ford, a re-born Fiat are growing their market shares. May be, simply said, Toyota is a very strong brand but right now challengers are answering with products good enough to compete with toyota's. I drove toyotas and in my opinion, for what i can drive in Europe, Toy's cars are ugly and boring, which means a good product for european city-women. If i can choose, any japanese car simply isn't good enough the money it costs. Best regards Numbers matters. Toyota is excpeted to sell 70.000 less cars in Japan this year.

That expected 4% loss is also the loss of the Japanese market as a whole. In the US amrket though, with Toyota's sales satarting to turn downward, & with the ongoing lower sales of Ford & Chrysler, market share figuresin the last few months point to the fact that GM's where the lost sales are going. But Japan - I think no one will compensate for the Toyota sales. All loss for all automakers there. That 4% loss is going to no one.

Your doing great one month(or so on) and then your down one month(or so on) The automotive market has proven that there are times where sales wont be as strong. I dont think this is very important news. Oh well. thats the car market. Your doing great one month(or so on) and then your down one month(or so on)

Well, maybe all those recalls are catching up to Toyota after all. Last numbers I heard were the GM numbers were up here, and around 4%, IIRC... ;) It seems to me that if Toyota was to exceed their goals by 4% 1115 would think it was a huge deal, don’tcha think?

They sold 70,000 fewer cars than they expected. That is a big deal. In addition, it is always important to note that the market fell by 3.8% while Toy fell 4% meaning that Toyota outpaced the market (and in this scenario, that is NOT a good thing). But it's okay Toy, you will do better next time. 4% is not a big deal? They sold 70,000 fewer cars than they expected. That is a big deal.
