Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda Motor Co., Japan's two biggest carmakers, led the 11th straight monthly increase in domestic auto sales as government incentives boosted demand.
Sales of cars, trucks and buses, excluding minicars, rose 21 percent to 293,537 vehicles in June from a year earlier, the Japan Automobile Dealers Association said in a statement Thursday. Toyota, the world's largest carmaker, sold 140,207 units, excluding Lexus-brand cars, up 27 percent.
