Key launches this fall and growing overall market have hyped up Toyota Motor Sales US to increase its 2013 sales expectations.
At the latest national dealer meeting in Atlanta, Toyota’s vice president Bob Carter told dealers that he expects Toyota and Scion to sell more than 2 million units this year and including Lexus, they should sell over 2.25 million.

"The market is starting to recover in the same pattern we projected," Carter said in a phone interview. "It just started about six months before we thought. I think the market's there and we're seeing the traffic."

The sales numbers started from 2.08 million in 2012, expecting 2.15 million just a while ago, while in April, the manufacturer expected 2.2 million sold units. The higher expectations were generated due to the upcoming launch of the redesigned Toyota Corolla and Tundra models.
