basis, 5 percent on a daily selling rate (DSR) basis. Calendar-year-to-date
(CYTD) TMS sales are 6.1 percent ahead of the same period last year.
“From
an industry standpoint, continued retail sales growth indicates the underlying
strength of the market, which is a great sign for the months ahead, especially
with new products, low interest rates and plenty of pent up demand,” said Bill
Fay, TMS group vice president and general manager. “Toyota’s two newest
models – Avalon and RAV4 – continued to attract customers with double digit
gains in April.

manager.
