The increase was driven by both fuel-efficient cars and the new Tundra full-size truck, launched in February. Sales of the Camry, the best- selling car in the United States, increased 16% to 50,126. The Prius, the best-selling hybrid in the United States, was up 196% to 24,099. The new Tundra pickup more than doubled the sales figures of its predecessor with May sales of 17,727.
..Toyota Motor Sales executive vice president Jim Lentz: ?Despite the industry?s shift toward passenger cars, Toyota?s all-new Tundra hit an all-time high in May. As for hybrids, the market?s appetite continues unabated, with Prius also establishing an all-time record.?
