The slide continues - Prius sales down 55% in March

There are a few numbers at Green Car Congress: US LDV Sales Dropped 36.8% in March 2009; March SAAR Up Slightly to 9.86M Units.

Here at Honda and Nissan's sales:
Honda Media Newsroom Release: American Honda Reports March Sales of 88,379
Nissan North America Announces March Sales

A good way to find monthly sales w/sales by model is to do a Google search for [name of manufacturer] [month] [year] [sales] and maybe add reported, reports and/or North America.

By The Numbers -- Autoblog is good for getting a breakdown by car maker but it doesn't have YTD sales.

 

It's all a numbers game - and you make the numbers say anything you want. What amuses me is that in March 2008 the country was headed for the gas crunch of a lifetime. In March 2009 the country is in the recession of a lifetime.

So what are they saying about the numbers.....

 

too many people bought new cars last year with money they did not have??
