    How many months in a row is this now?

    Is there a record to be broken?

    Anyone know if the Prius is still on the "top of the charts" for the car model that moves fastest off car dealer's lots?

    This usually is equivalent to "most in demand" -- i.e., spends the least time on the dealer's lot because someone buys it immediately.

    It does sound like demand is a heavy factor, directly and indirectly (as rebates are also looked at). I would be curious to find out how much they weigh each variable.

    Just for kicks, I broke it down the makes by manufacturer (Lexus and Toyota combined, Honda and Acura combined).

    Toyota has 12!
    Honda has 6 (2 are hybrids)
    Ford has 5 (1 hybrid)
    Volkswagon has 3 (All 3 are TDI).
    Chevy has 2
    Mercedes-Benz has 1

    Overall 4 out of 29 are hybrids: 13.8%

    Is the employee pricing hurting GM and Chrysler? Although Ford doesn't seem to be hurt too bad with their family plan.
