DETROIT (Reuters) - Toyota Motor Corp (7203.T) said on Monday its November U.S. sales rose narrowly from a year earlier despite the pressure from rising fuel prices and declining home prices.

The Japanese automaker said its overall U.S. sales were up 0.3 percent from a year earlier.

Toyota-brand sales were up 1.4 percent. Sales for the company's luxury Lexus unit were down. Lexus passenger car sales were down 7.8 percent, while Lexus-brand light truck sales were down 5.7 percent, Toyota said.
