    lift back is trending in the right direction...

    i must say, that is a lot of fusions. you can't give them away forever, ford must be doing something right.

    Prime in the plug-in lead again, still with low inventory (<1000 for the month). June is end of the quarter, so that month Prime sales will do yet better. Good job for the segment all around.

    Lots of margin on those trucks.

    Until the end of the year approaches, I only expect larger increases from the Bolt and Ioniq as they are the ones least along in market roll out.

    Well it's a horse of a different color now in the Gen4 era.
    Much more diversity than just 75% Prii every month.
    I do not know if making Gen4 more sedan like gave Fusion a better competitive advantage here in USA.
    Of course gaso prices are down and much more choice.

    The sedanesque of the gen4 would help, but then there are those angles and things also added to it.
    The Prime with incentives is stealing Prius sales.
    Ford is giving the Fusion hybrid away to balance out all those F150s for CAFE.

    3 Toyota Prius C(only) 1121
    4 Toyota Prius PRIME(only) 1908
    5 Toyota RAV4 hybrid 4070

    I can not explain why the RAV4 hybrid is included but not the Camry, Avalon, and Highlander hybrids. Nor can I explain why the Prius ECO is rolled into the Prius Sedan numbers. Toyota past practice treated the Prius as a family of cars. For grins, here are the raw numbers from the EPA fueleconomy.gov.
    model combined MPGe city highway
    1 Prius ECO 56 58 53
    2 Prius Prime 54 133
    3 Prius 52 54 50
    4 Prius c (*) 50 53 46
    5 Prius v 41 43 39

    * - the 2017 Prius c is listed with lower combined/city/highway than the 2016 Prius c. I'm sending a note to the curator and the usual suspects.

    It's a press release from Toyota, not a company report. Like nearly everybody else, they are going to down play the bad while shouting the good. The Rav4h is doing great, and might rival the Prius numbers in a short time. The others are doing various levels of not good to bad. The Highlanderh has had low sales for most of its career, and might not have continued or even existed without the RXh to pay for the factory. The Camry hybrid annual sales was once around 10% of model's total number. In 2016, it was just 5.7%. Including the Eco with the Sedan helps inflate the Sedan's lagging numbers.

    This is the why of for the 2016 to 2017 Prius c numbers.
    EPA's gas mileage ratings drop for some 2017 models
    The EPA issued new testing rules. They went into effect for new 2016 models, but it appears the car companies didn't have to update all their existing models for the 2016 model year.
    The 2017's 46mpg combined, 48mpg city, and 43mpg highway numbers are the ones comparable to the gen4's on the window sticker.

    Interesting about the cars.com article. I look forward to more technical details and comparison to fuelly.com. I'll check the Federal Registy to see if the EPA published more details.

    I bought one of the 85 Optima plug ins. I'm surprised they aren't selling better it's a wonderful car.

    Good news, the EPA has already published links about the modified testing:
    Using the last link, I looked up the Prius c and sure enough, there was no change between the old and new calculation from the link that reports the changes from the updated and previous metric. There has been a mistake in the case of the prius c.

    model year combined city highway
    1 prius c 2017 46 48 43
    2 prius c 2016 50 53 46
    3 prius c 2012 50 53 46

    The real change in calculations was described in: https://iaspub.epa.gov/otaqpub/display_file.jsp?docid=35113&flag=1
    In simpler terms, the EPA in 2008 moved from a two-test based mileage rating to a five-test system. But re-running all of the cars in the five-test protocol would be impractical. So the EPA allowed using a correction factor, "0.7", on the two-test data to estimate the five-test data. Now the EPA has better set of coefficients.

    I was looking around Fremont Toyota lot before returning a rental. A huge dealer. Kinda sad to see lots of unsold 2016 Prius' languishing. Could hardly get a Prius 10 years ago. Things have changed a lot, but also far more alt vehicle offerings.

    Are you sure they are not 2017 or 2017.5? I would have expected most all new 2016 would have been sold months ago.

    The ones w/o TSS-P should be sent back or a 'kit' sent to fix them. Ship them to Georgetown or Mississippi if Toyota does not trust local dealers.

    They had large 2016 stickers on windshield and I checked some Monroney stickers showing 2016 models. I sat in a 2016 with 2 miles total on it.
    I'd say there were about 30 or so 2016's, maybe more. This dealer probably has 80 or more Prius liftbacks and maybe 600 cars altogether.

    They need to discount then way below the safer 2017 models.
