Shanghai, October 9 (Gasgoo.com) More than 300 dealerships of FAW Toyota will be all permitted to sell imported Toyota cars from the beginning of next year, to merge the joint venture's sales channels of China-made and imported Toyota models, xinhuanet.com reported today.

Currently there are 57 authorized dealerships of imported Toyota cars in China and meanwhile all of them also sell Toyota cars locally made by FAW Toyota. They import and sell Toyota models such as Prado 2700, Previa MPV, Hiace van, and others.
