Cars
The theory that Toyota's car sales are an unbreakable force doesn't jibe with October 2010's Sales Stats. Car sales at Toyota USA were down 19.6% compared with October 2009. Scion, which sells cars and nothing but, are included in that Toyota percentage decline. Thing is, if you separate Scion from the Toyota pack, Toyota's numbers get worse. See, Scion sales were up 25.7% in October, thanks in no small part to the 2011 Scion tC. Include Lexus in the mix and total Toyota Motor Corporation car sales in the USA are seen in the light of a 17% decline in October.
There are bright lights in the Toyota division. Most notable among them is the rebirthed 2010 Toyota 4Runner seen in The Good 12 Supersize v2.0. 4Runner sales jumped ridiculously compared with October 2009's abysmal totals, but grew compared with September 2010, too. Check out the Scion and Lexus model-by-model breakdowns after the jump.

The more things change, the more things stay the same. Toyota USA sales tumbled in October 2010, a period in which the vast majority of automakers increased sales in double-digit fashion. Meanwhile Lexus posted gains and was the best-selling luxury brand in America. How so? Look at its two best-sellers: as always, the RX and ES pull other Lexus models along by their bootstraps.
