Friends: 23 | From Fast Company contributor Greg Spotts: Last week, car makers announced May 2006 sales. Buried in the data was an intriguing development that most news reports missed: The Toyota line of "Hybrid Synergy Drive" vehicles is now one of the best selling automobile brands in the United States. Toyota has four hybrid models with significant sales, i.e. monthly sales over 2000 units: the Prius and Camry sedans, and Highlander and RX400h SUV's. Together, these four models sold nearly 17,000 units in May, more than the total monthly sales of some very well-known brands: May 2006 Sales, (All Models, Unless Otherwise Noted) Toyota hybrids 16,896 Subaru 16,406 VW 16,297 Acura 16,171 Saturn 15,345 Mitsubishi 11,821 Volvo 11,610 Suzuki 10,135 Volvo 10,124 Audi 7,120 Land Rover 3,981 Porsche 3,272 Saab 3,030 Jaguar 2,374 Source: http://blog.fastcompany.com/archives/2006/...ids_heyday.html

Friends: 0 | Not to question your figures, but I question your figures... A quick google showed VW sold slightly north of 20K cars in May '06 in the US. http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2...01/009371.html It is true that they sold 16,297 in May.. but in May '05. |

Friends: 23 | <shrug> Question them if you must cause they aren't MY figures lol. I'm just the messenger but again, it's good to have people like you to double check and not blindly post like I did. |

Friends: 8 | If you add 294 Lexus GS 450h, the Toyota total was 17,190. (Lexus RX 400h was already included in the original 16,896 number.) Ken@Japan |

Friends: 0 | if you add up the AutoChannels sales figures it comes out to 20,455 not the 22,100 that they quote. I'd like to see VW's auditor's figures. This is a game all the manufactures play. Do these figures take into account all the "house" sales, IE: sell to leasing companies etc. Most house accounts don't show in retail sales figures. |
