Toyota growth driven partly by new dealers in 2006

Jim Press, head of Toyota North America, announced at the National Automobile Dealers Association conference that of Toyota’s 5-10 percent growth expectations for 2006, half of it will come from dealer expansion in the form of new dealerships or expanding current facilities — and with a group that, on an individual dealer-per-dealer basis, outsells its competition, that can only mean big things for Toyota.

Jim Press, head of Toyota North America,
announced at the National Automobile Dealers Association conference that of Toyota’s 5-10 percent growth
expectations for 2006, half of it will come from dealer expansion in the form of new dealerships or expanding current
facilities — and with a group that, on an individual dealer-per-dealer basis, outsells its competition, that
can only mean big things for Toyota.

The other half will be product-driven by new models like the Toyota RAV-4,
FJ Cruiser, Camry Sedan, and Yaris, and Lexus ES and LS.
