    Wow, over 20,500 Prius sales US for February which includes the v. I heard Toyota is targeting 220k US in '12 for the family and at that rate, they might make it. Some fodder ...

    "GM has said it is committed to the car (Volt) and its platform. It remains unclear however the extent to which GM will reach earlier goals of 45,000 North American sales."

    What's also really significant is this:
    Column 1 Column 2 Column 3
    0 TCH 3 750
    1 HSH 1 568
    2 FFH 1 110
    3 KOH 925
    4 Total 7353


    Not only were the TCH sales high, but over 7,000 true mid-size hybrids were sold. And then there's the Prius v for a different kind of requirement.

    Yes very good numbers for february. Hybrid plus plug in sales got a 3.3% market share in a growing car market. March is typically a better month, and with gas prices staying high and introduction of the prius c, we can expect it to continue the good news for hybrid sales.

    I think hybrid cars didn't get the memo. GM has clearly walked away from that forecast. They just won't say what the new number is. It clearly will be much lower unless something really changes, and if that happens like a price drop they will still be lower.;) The Leaf forecast of 20K leafs this year also looks optimistic.
