    Here finally is the real story... as verified and reported on Edmunds.

    "Unsold Hybrids Stretch 'Far as the Eye Can See' at AutoNation, or Do They?" Green Car Advisor

    This was a conference where the President of AutoNation was giving a speech and the WSJ writer apparently misheard or miswrote...or Mr Jackson just let his jaw flap.

    After some verification by Edmunds, what Jackson meant to say was 'that after there being almost no Prius' available all last summer all of a sudden there's 60 days supply!!' Helloooo did anyone give him a newspaper since last summer??

    Seriously, that's all he meant to say....and he was talking about the entire US market, not his group of stores.
