    I think that brings the Prius up to about 167,000 vehicles for the year, only 3K more for their initial goal, and already more than 50% above all of last year.

    Nope, the goal was 160,000.

    Needless to say, it will be exceeded by quite a bit.

    I don't know what is good for December, but assuming somewhat similar numbers to a decrease with the holidays, it could be from 180-185K for the year! Not bad at all. Getting close to the 200k a year mark. What is the Camry, around 400K a year?

    There are good signs in those number but it's a pity about the 2 top sellers.
    New tech at number 14 isn't a bad effort and the fastest growth even though tax breaks are cutting out!

    It's refreshing to see a reduction in sales of F Series, Silverado and Ram.

    On ya America!:)

    I'm not sure about the Silverado, but the F-series (150, 250, 350) is a pretty wide range of vehicles, more than just minor changes to the trim.

    I'm impressed the Prius is #14 overall. Last year it wasn't even listed (n/a). Interesting dichotomy in that both the Prius and Tundra are big climbers in the chart.

    Toyota did beat Ford again this month, but I'm not really cheering that. I just wish the domestic companies had their act together, with the PNGV program in the 90's they had the opportunity to corner the fuel-efficient market. At the same time, I'm surprised the FEH isn't selling better than it is, especially the redesigned version seems like a good vehicle for those needing extra space at 34+ mpg.
