Still don't understand these folks who think the Fusion is some supermodel alongside the Accord and Camry 
I think the Accord is the best looking of the three, but don't consider the Fusion any better looking than the Altima, Camry, etc. I seem to be the only one though

Toyota has a ton of positive momentum right now and the numbers are showing it:
- All new Highlander is strong out of the gate
- New Rav4 has been a huge success, +27% YOY
- New Corolla is starting strong
- Weakly redesigned Tacoma and Tundra are up considerably
- New Avalon has absolutely killed it again in 2013, up 140%
- 4Runner, somehow, remains very strong and posted YOY increases of 6%
- Land Cruiser and Sequoia also up YOY 5-6%
Same for Lexus:
- New IS is doing very well (HUGE month in December!)
- ES remains very strong (+30% YOY - Crazy)
- GS, for all of the ups and downs and drama, finished out the year with a solid ~20K of sales (down a bit from 2012)
- LS is considerably up YOY even with a weak refresh (up 28% YOY)
- RX up 9% for the year despite being at the end of its product cycle
- GX up 10% for the year with a new refresh
Refreshed CT is hitting the market now and the NX will be here a bit later, followed by RC. Really, Toyota's weakest core product right now is the Camry, and from what I hear, there is a heavy refresh for 2015 coming around July/August of this year.
Nice work, ToMoCo
