 TORONTO, ON – July 4, 2012 – New models across all three brands drove June sales of Toyota, Lexus and Scion passenger cars, SUVs and trucks to 19,104 – up 66.6% versus June 2011. This included a new June record for trucks across all three brands – a 39.9% year over year boost to 7,738. June marked a strong finish to the first half of the year for Toyota Canada Inc, which reported sales of 98,032 vehicles – up 24.1% compared to the first six months of 2011.

 “Early this year we predicted that 2012 would be The Year of the Hybrid at Toyota – and at the halfway point, Canadians have embraced Toyota hybrids in impressive numbers, with 7,857 sold,” said Tony Wearing, Senior Managing Director, Toyota Canada Inc. “Beyond hybrids, Canadians have been visiting dealerships in record numbers to purchase new models such as the Camry and Yaris Hatch, which demonstrate Toyota’s renewed commitment to emotional vehicle design.”
