October Sales Solid - Prius #10 Selling Car in US

Quote:

Not only were Prius sales up double-digits in October over last year, but the solid sales also pushed the Prius into the "Top-Selling Vehicles in the US" list. The Prius had sales of 13,496 in October, an increase of 10.3% over last October.

Was your Prius one of the 13,000+ sold in October?

That's amazing! Judging by the number of 2010's I've spotted in AZ, it's not hard to believe.

This means that the Prius is the tenth most favorable car to Americans! Wow! Finally, Americans are buying hybrids! Sure, you might not see it on the road yet because 99% of the cars on the road today (in this current recession) are not brand new cars. But for those that are buying new cars today, the Prius is #10 on the sales list!!!
