(Reuters) – Toyota Motor Corp on Friday reported a 6.6 percent fall in U. S. vehicle sales for January, hurt by lower demand for its Camry and Prius cars.
The No.3 automaker in the United States by sales said it sold 156,021 vehicles in January, down from 167,056 vehicles a year earlier. Camry sales fell 3.4 percent, while Prius sales slumped 57 percent, the company said.
Auto industry consultants J. D. Power and LMC Automotive forecast January auto sales to decline about 1 percent from the same month in 2018, partly due to uncertainty over the recent government shutdown.
