Toyota Australia has kicked-off 2012 with a strong market-leading sales performance despite a severe shortage of its top-selling HiLux.The company was number one in sales of passenger cars, SUVs and light-commercial vehicles for January.

Toyota sold more than 14,000 vehicles for the month, giving it a lead of more than 55 per cent or 5,000 sales over its nearest rival.This was despite fewer than 1,100 HiLux being sold – about one-third the normal level – due to lack of supply.

Toyota Australia’s executive director sales and marketing Matthew Callachor said the overall result showed the strength of Toyota’s diverse range.”Camry celebrated the arrival of the new seventh-generation range with sales up 22 per cent on the same month last year,” he said.

With a new Camry Hybrid due inside two months, the new Camry range is set to extend its 18 consecutive years as Australia’s best-selling medium car.Toyota also had strong results with Kluger and Prado taking the top two positions in the large SUV segment and LandCruiser 200 Series continuing its leadership of the upper-large SUV segment,” Mr Callachor said.

Corolla topped 3,300 sales for the month to be Australia’s second most popular vehicle, while HiAce performed well as the best-selling van and best-selling light bus. Even with low supply, HiLux was the most popular 4×2 ute and we expect all HiLux stock to improve in February and beyond.

As per the previously announced forecast, the quarterly dividend for the fiscal third quarter will be 15 yen per share of common stock with the record date of December 31, 2011.

With companywide efforts to minimize the negative impacts of the decline in worldwide automobile production because of the Great East Japan Earthquake and the flooding in Thailand, and the historic appreciation of the Japanese yen, Honda made a revision to the forecasts for the consolidated financial results for this fiscal year as follows with:

Net sales and other operating revenue: 7,850 billion yen
Operating income: 200 billion yen
Income before income taxes: 250 billion yen
Net income*1: 215 billion yen
