    Newsroom : Toyota Reports June and First-Half Sales / Toyota
    Not so hot, 12,996 in June 2009 but that was the first full month of the new model and some NHW20s were probably being cleared too.

    For the year:
    Column 1 Column 2 Column 3
    0 year to month number
    1 2009 55 751
    2 2010 66 039
    Probably some sales loss in 2009 as the old model was being discontinued.

    Glass half full: Prius sales are steady
    Glass half empty: Prius sales did not enjoy the "6.8%" overall sales growth.

    Interesting, I've noticed the Prius inventory levels starting to fall off at some of the local dealers. I thought that Prius sales were starting to pick up. Maybe not, and instead Toyota is shipping a lot fewer Priuses to the dealers. Don't know?

    140,604 from 131,654 is an increase of just 6.8%. It says so right in the release.

    I don't know how you figured it was 13.8.

    The usual summer spike hasn't happened this year, either because of the economy or an attempt to lay low because of the spill. So people are buying suv's again... Idiots!:mad:

    On that note, looking at GM's sales release at http://phx.corporate-ir.net/External.File?item=UGFyZW50SUQ9NTI0MTl8Q2hpbGRJRD0tMXxUeXBlPTM=&t=1, dumb Americans are ramping up their sales of monstrosity class SUVs, likely since gas is "cheap". :(

    Compared to the same period a year ago, I see these vehicles up in sales by this much:
    Escalade ESV +40.8%
    Surburban +99.7%
    Tahoe +66.5%
    Yukon +20.6%
    Yukon XL +105.8%

    Looking at Ford's numbers at http://media.ford.com/images/10031/June10sales.pdf, Expedition sales are basically steady but they're up 30.5% YTD. Navigator sales are up 14.4% vs. June 09 and up 34.4% YTD. :(

    I noticed it in the Toyota sales too:
    Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4 Column 5 Column 6
    0 June 10 June 09 % vehicle
    1 10 998 12 998 -15.4% Prius
    2 12 573 10 054 +25.1% RAV4
    From June 2010 sales. I've included the percentages even though they are misleading when compared to the units sold.

    Within the passenger car division, the trend is the 'wrong way:'
    Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4 Column 5
    0 June 10 June 09 vehicle
    1 28 435[/B] 26 394 Camry
    2 21 876[/B] 19 935 Corolla
    3 10 998[/COLOR] 12 998 Prius
    4 3 512[/COLOR] 4 521 Venza
    5 2 833[/B] 2 133 Avalon
    6 2 412[/COLOR] 5 243 Yaris
    7 1 775[/COLOR] 1 869 SCION xB
    8 1 137[/COLOR] 1 446 SCION tC
    9 833 946 SCION xD
    10 73 811[/COLOR] 75 487 total
    Toyota Division Passenger Cars

    Three models paid the mortgage. The Venza is supposed to compete with one of the GM crossover SUV models. For our interests, the Prius remains an "in between" but look at gas prices:

    Today, we're seeing an inflation rate increase in gas prices since last year. But the year before, speculation drove gas prices through the roof. The best Prius and small car subsidy, higher gas prices . . . and we have this deficit problem.
