“We’re off to an outstanding start to the year,” said Jack Hollis, group vice president and general manager, Toyota division. “Best-ever February light truck results, combined with continued strong sales of the all-new 2018 Camry, give us great momentum as we kick off our spring Ready, Set, Go! sales event.”

“Lexus kept its momentum going with another strong month in February,” said Jeff Bracken, group vice president and general manager, Lexus division.
“NX, both gas and hybrid had its best-ever February while our LUVs also delivered another record month.
