Is the Prius really the shape of things to come? Before you all go off and haul me to the loony bin, take a look at these facts.
The Prius doubled its November sales over those of last year, to 16,737 vehicles sold. Now that’s only about two-thirds of those sold in the Prius’ best month, May, which saw more than 24,000 out the door.
But lets put this in perspective.
The Prius is outselling the complete lines of Acura, Saturn, Buick, Subaru, and Mercury!
It is selling at a rate almost equal to that of Cadillac and of Volkswagen’s entire lines. Those brands beat the Prius by less than a thousand vehicles each in November.
So who is still laughing at the best selling Hybrid now?
Not me.
