Sales stats 2010 GEN III

Can you give us ball park figures of the prices.
In Israel a record 215k cars were sold.
The leaders were Mazda and Hyundai with over 30K and Toyota over 22K in third.
When i get Prius # i'll post.
In Israel Avensis and Prius cost almost the same.

Bob W. is no longer posting so someone else is going to have to compile the stats.

 

Worldwide Prius sales 1998 to September 2010:

Worldwide Prius Sales Top 2 Million, 2 New Variants Rumored for 2012 : TreeHugger

 

What's the story?

 

Am I reading that graph right?
North American sales have dropped by over 25% since 2007?

Whassup with that?

 

Bob gave up from PC as the protest against accident thread censorship. It is how I understood his leaving message.

 

coupla points to consider are the economy, cash for clunkers and u/a.

 

Prius about the same as here - all the rest a lot cheaper in Finland.
Taxes are extremely high in Israel but Hybrids do get a break to make them attractive. In fact if and when electic cars arrive here they will be taxed even less.
Thanks

2010 was a pretty bad year for everyone compared to 2007. See By the Numbers: 2007 — Autoblog vs. By the Numbers - 2010: The Year After That Really Bad Year Edition — Autoblog.

 

Finally saw sale figures for 2010

Only just under 1500 Prius were delivered in 2010.
Still the #1 hybrid beating the Insight by about 130 cars.
HCH sold only about 100 and total Hybrids under 3000 (about 1.4% of total)
The previous record for the Prius was almost double.
I am rather surprised as there were record car sales in 2010 and Toyota also broke it previous record (over 15,000 Corollas were sold). Of course it was the first year of the Insight which sells for about $6000 less and not much more then a Corolla. Hope Hybrid sales go up this year with the Gas now selling for about $7.50 a gallon.
There was an interesting trend in 2010 to buy very small (Suzuki Alto, Hyundai I10, Peuguet 107) and even manual cars that are effecient and cost half or less what the Prius goes for - of course they cars are uncomparable except in fuel efficiency and emissions.

 

The statistic for Czech republic:
2009 44
2010 68
Just enthusiasics are buying this car in Skoda land.

 

Look on the bright side!
You can say that Prius sales are up over 50-percent in your country!!!

 

But the latest Octavia Greenline does have some interesting fuel economy ratings (despite being a despicable diesel).

UK Prius figures;

2008 9,042
2009 7,941
2010 11,000 Projected (9,000 end Sep 2010)

 

In lists of top 20 selling cars in the US, Prius is usually found in the high teens, as in #18 or #17 in recent years.

Interestingly, F150, Silverado trucks are always within top 5 and Honda Accord I've often seen at #3. Civic, Camry, Corolla, and Fusion in top 10.

2010 Prius sold like 66k units in US first 6 months of 2010, Accord sold about 160k units.

There's some work to do there considering Prius can get 2x fuel economy over an Accord any day.
