2022 Toyota Camry TRD in Calvary Blue

Not much good news in auto sales this year, at least not from the automakers selling monthly. Through August 2022, car sales fell by more than 400,000 vehicles and that’s just from the car companies we can see. We will have a more complete picture after sales are reported in September.

Despite the chip shortage, Toyota dominates with the Camry and Corolla, far outperforming Honda Accord and Civic and not even close.
