In case you were wondering, the plural term for Prius is "Prii." You might want to remember that, because according to Toyota, the car is multiplying fast.
Its supply may be limited in parts by last month's Japanese earthquake and tsunami, but that hasn't stopped it from setting sales records, the most recent one being one million sold in the U.S.
In the past six months, Toyota said the Prius has seen three all-time milestones reached. Six months ago its global sales topped two million units, and by October, worldwide sales crossed the three-million mark.
"Since the Prius went on sale [in the U.S.] 11 years ago not a year has gone by when it hasn't been the number one selling hybrid vehicle in the U.S.," said Bob Carter, Toyota Division group vice president and general manager. "Prius has become synonymous with the word 'hybrid' and as we see fuel prices starting to rise again, it has accounted for more than 60 percent of hybrid passenger car sales so far this year. "
WOW, 3 million prius units sold and prius sales are still going strong! What will interest me is seeing how well the Prius V & Prius C will sell once there out. If the regular Prius can pull off 3 million sales, imagine what can happen with the regular Prius along with the Prous V station wagon and the Prius C that might make it to production.
CRZ will never beat that as it isn't as practical as the Prius and the CRZ is just trying to be a try hard hybrid whole trying to keep its sports car heritage.
"clap" "clap" "clap" to the prius over the last decade you have proved many people wrong by still running strong remain popular and still have a wow factor to many people.
Lets see if Toyota can make this their number one selling car, like the Corolla, well maybe if they lowered the price it would stand a chance where the corolla has sold over 30-40 million!
That is a lot of corolla's could you imagine all them together in one spot!
