Toyota motors, the Japanese car manufacturer recently astound the world by announcing the next year's sales target to be 8.61 million cars. The claim made by the company includes the total global sales of Toyota motors which will be a hike of striking 3% as against the figures from last year.

The bad news for the company will come from its native market where it will face a downfall by 17%. the major reason for this reduced sales is the stress on green cars and the top competition, Prius hybrid in market.

The company has taken this bold move to keep a check on the fluctuating demand in future. The company however ha good plans to increase the foreign production by striking 6%.
