REPORT: Toyota U.S. president Lentz believes Prius could supplant Camry as brand's best seller

The Toyota Camry has been the best selling car in the US for 11 of the past 12 years, and only a total industry meltdown has managed to slow the Japanese automaker's bread-and-butter sedan. Even with that impediment, the Camry still has a comfortable lead versus its archrivals, the Honda Accord and Nissan Altima. In fact, the only vehicles to routinely beat the Camry in overall vehicle sales are the Ford F-Series and Chevrolet Silverado, and those vehicles need dozens of configurations and both regular and heavy-duty variants to retain ...

Global Dominance Shift: VW may have sold more than Toyota in Q1 7 months ago on Autoblog

Over the last several years, few automotive stories have held as much interest as the global fight between Toyota and General Motors for worldwide sales supremacy.

No Dispute: Toyota displaces GM as world's largest automaker 10 months ago on Autoblog

Quick: Who is the world's largest automaker? General Motors or Toyota?

Toyota expected to post first annual sales decline in 10 years 1 year ago on Autoblog

We knew the auto industry was in bad shape and it didn't take long to extend its poisoned-tipped tentacles into the world's automotive juggernaut.

The end is nigh: Toyota announces 0% financing on 11 models 1 year ago on Autoblog

Further proof that no automaker is immune to effects of the sales downturn in the U.S. comes as Toyota has just announced 0% financing on 11 of its models, including the hugely popular Camry and Corolla and a slew of SUVs and trucks.

Toyota cuts sales forecast almost 7% 1 year ago on Autoblog

Last September we told you of Volkswagen's plan to overtake Toyota in global sales by 2015. Some Autoblog staffers giggled at the prospect.

Toyota's Q1 profit drops 39% 1 year ago on Autoblog

Weak June has Toyota reviewing U.S. ops 1 year ago on Autoblog

Toyota posted a 10% sales decline for its bread-and-butter brand of over the month of June, with numbers that are even worse -- an 11.5% drop -- when the Scion and Lexus brands are added into the equation.

Toyota may miss sales goal this year 1 year ago on Autoblog

Toyota's bet that it could sell more vehicles in 2008 than in 2007 may not have been a wise one.

Nine Toyota execs in the U.S. retiring, or are they? 1 year ago on Autoblog
