What’s worth nothing in this conversation, however, if that Toyota’s overall sales were still substantially higher than Nissan’s or Honda’s.   Toyota sold 209,602 units in June, down 0.3% on a daily-selling-rate basis, Wards Intelligence data shows. There were 27 selling days in June 2018 vs. 26 in June 2017.However, the No.1-selling Japanese automaker in the U.S. ended the year’s first half up 3.0% on volume. Toyota sold 1.189 million units in January-June 2018 compared with 1.155 million units in first-half 2017.In what has been the case all year – and the case for most automakers in the U.S. in 2018 – light trucks rose last month while car sales declined.Total Toyota light-truck deliveries were up 8.7% on a DSR basis in June, while passenger-car sales fell 12.6% for the month.The automaker says it set light-truck records in the first half for Toyota Motor North America and the individual Toyota and Lexus brands.
