The All-New 2018 Camry Helped Toyota Pass Ford

Toyota (NYSE: TM) said its U.S. sales rose 15% in September, on a surge in demand driven in part by hurricane recovery efforts, and partly by an all-new version of its most popular sedan.

Toyota's sales increase outpaced the 9.3% average estimate from Wall Street analysts polled by Bloomberg. It was the largest year-over-year increase in U.S. sales posted by any major automaker, a great result in what was a good month for many rivals.

Toyota even managed a feat that it only pulls off occasionally, one good for bragging rights: It out-sold Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) to secure second place in the U.S. sales rankings for the month.
