No, not really - you either read and or assumed incorrectly - Toyota's peak reported European monthly market share was 6.0% - they've been falling apart over there for a while now.

There is the 5.3/6.0 - different set of numbers - Toyota group YTD




TOYOTA Group.....4.8.....5.4..... 68,961..... 84,070..... -18.0..... 5.3...... 6.0..... 444,822......... 507,471........ -12.3
TOYOTA.............. 4.7.... 5.2..... 66,478..... 80,733..... -17.7..... 5.1...... 5.7..... 428,666......... 486,220........ -11.8
Lexus..................0.2.... 0.2...... 2,483........ 3,337..... -25.6.... 0..........0.2.........16,156............21,251... ......-24.0

I did refer to Lexus's YTD - for a variety of reasons - not the least of which is their market share number is both inaccurate and meaningless anyway.
