At the request of dealers, the automaker is boosting production of its best-selling a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/16/in-the-autoblog-garage-2009-toyota-camry-xle/"Toyota Camry/a and popular a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/06/2009-rav4-gets-refreshened-bigger-base-engine/"RAV4 SUV/a. In addition, a new ad campaign, called "Perfect Timing," started on Friday. It is an attempt to boost sales on vehicles using reduced interest rates, more consumer cash and a focus on low payment leases. The campaign caters to regional needs with aggressive leases in the East, and zero-percent interest rates in the West and Midwest. Bob Carter, Toyota division general manager, told emAutomotive News/em that "there will be an enhanced package of incentives compared with what Toyota currently offers." Carter didn't elaborate, so it seems you'll just have to visit a showroom to get the details. Regardless, it appears that Toyota is willing to make a deal like never before.br /br /[Source: a href="http://www.autonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090502/ANA05/905029997/1197"Automotive News/a, subs. req'd | Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty]p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/05/04/dismal-april-motivates-toyota-to-increase-production-and-incenti/"Dismal April motivates Toyota to increase production and incentives/a originally appeared on a href="http://www.autoblog.com"Autoblog/a on Mon, 04 May 2009 13:01:00 EST.
