Cash For Clunkers was a little too good to the Toyota Prius, leading to shortages across the country in August and an actual decrease in sales over July's numbers.  Compared to August 2008, though, Prius sales were through the roof, up 45.7 percent.  When will the Prius show back up on lots?  Will September's numbers decrease substantially due to the lack of C4C and no stock?  September has been a month of spiking gas prices (at least on the East Coast) due to hurricane season, so it should be an interesting month for the 2010 Prius.

The July sales numbers are in, and they are looking very good for the Toyota Prius.  Prius sales jumped 48% from June 2009 to July 2009, and 30% from the year-ago month.  The July sales were the best-ever for the Prius, and were surely fueled by the positive word of mouth created by PriusChat forum members like you.  Keep up the good work!
