Toyota August Sales: No Silver Lining

Toyota (TM) US sales fell unexpectedly, down 2.8% to 233,471.

Passenger car sales fell but light-truck sales rose 2% to 97,964 from 96,034 a year earlier.

According to MarketWatch, Toyota blamed the dip on "reduced credit availability and lower consumer confidence."
