AP cited Cho as saying that Toyota was confident because of the strong performance of its recent models, despite some emerging worries about a slowdown in the pace of the recovery on both sides of the Pacific.
Toyota’s world-wide sales would total 5.5 million vehicles in 2002, up from 5.26 million, Cho told AP.
Sales in Japan would total 1.75 million, up 2% from last year, while 3.75 million would be overseas, up 6%, AP added.
