Toyota Division passenger cars recorded March sales of 114,897 units, up 1.5 percent from last March. Passenger-car sales were led by Camry, which posted best-ever March sales of 40,487, an increase of 3.2 percent over the same period last year. Camry Hybrid reported sales of 6,930 units in March, up 45 percent over March 2007. The Prius hybrid gas-electric mid-size sedan posted best-ever March sales of 20,635, an increase of 16.0 percent from last March. Yaris reported all-time best-ever sales of 12,953 units, up 83.2 percent over the year-ago month.

Everyone else has had a bad month, even a bad quarter. But Toyota has no problems selling hybrids . . . lots and lots of hybrids.

Re: Hybrid sales: March 2008

This topic should really be called, "Toyota Hybrid sales: March 2008," since the article is exclusively about Toyota. Bob, you chose to editorialize it by changing the subject to a more generic one. I found this to be a mislead. Though your own comments may be true to qualify the generic title, they aren't supported by the article.
