    I believe this is the first time Prius is #1 selling car in Japan without any government incentive.

    February 2011 was the first month after the incentive with Prius #1 on the list in Japan (19110 units).
    Lexus CT200h did also well in June with 2296 sold (back to the level of before the hit).

    Also, don't forget that Honda FIT sales include non-hybrid FIT which is a much cheaper vehicle.
