Toyota struggles to meet small car demand
Quote:
The surge in popularity for small cars and fuel-efficient hybrids has left Toyota facing an unusual problem: deepening shortages of popular models such as the Prius hybrid.
A limited inventory of small cars hurt Toyota, which reported a 11.5 percent drop in U.S. sales in June.
In stark contrast, Japanese rival Honda Motor Co reported a 13.8 percent sales rise on record demand for its Fit subcompact car and Civic sedan.
