Leading the way in sales in July, despite the overall industry declines, was Toyota with 7,762 vehicles sold, according to ACARA. Toyota was the only manufacturer that saw a year-over-year increase. Behind Toyota was Volkswagen, which saw 6,701 vehicles sold, but was down 33.3%, year over year. In No. 3 was Renault which sold 6,398 in July, but was also down, year over year, by 30.6%
