Toyota Prius sales pass Ford Explorer in US

Incredible! Especially since there was little tax incentive to buy a Prius in 2007.

 

I just made the check=1 to check=0 and it worked!

Working URL.

 

Yeah, but there's the ever increasing gas price incentive.

 

the only limitation with the # toyota could make, if they sold 50K prius its cause they only were able to make 50K prius. If they sold 80K prius nationwide its cause they were only able to make 80K prius.

although i think the hybrid boom is slowing down cause the toyota.com website is showing incentives up to $2000, but i'm sure that figure is only for a fully loaded prius, i bet a not-so-well loaded prius may only have around $800 or $1200 incentive, but all that is better than no incentive.

prianista, you are a lucky bastard. I think the barcelona red is the only color that is more beautiful than my seaside blue. & with the larger wheels/spoiler on the touring your car must be absolutely gorgeous. The next time you rotate your wheels, see if you can take the wheel covers off & use just the gunmetal alloys underneath to give your car that aftermarket look w/o spending any real money, just tint the windows a little to complete the look and your car would look even more amazing!!!

 

When there is talk of a new model coming and a shape has been around for as long as the current shape Prius it is common for factory incentives to be offered to move product faster. As you say, the incentives most likely apply to high spec cars because manufacturers make good profit on extras.

 

Here in the Chicagoland Area, there are no Incentives on the Prius. There is a Special APR on the Camry including the Hybrid, but that's all.

Have to say, after owning the Prius for just over a month, I love it more and more Everyday !!
