SEOUL -- Japanese automakers are struggling to boost sales in South Korea as frayed bilateral tensions continue to take a toll on business, with the local unit of Toyota Motor among those offering hefty incentives to win back customers.
Combined sales of five Japanese brands slumped 59.8% on the year to 1,103 units in September, despite a 4.1% rise in the overall auto market. German makers benefited from their Japanese rivals' woes, with some seeing sales as much as quadruple on the year.
