Toyota has just released their
hybrid vehicle sales results for the year through October and the results are mixed. The
Prius continue on a strong growth path with global sales up twenty-six percent although Japanese sales were stagnant. The
Camry Hybrid is up forty-seven percent and the new
Lexus LS600h is off to a strong start. Lexus
dealers have already moved 6,093 examples of the $104,000 hybrid
luxury sedan. The other two
Lexus hybrids, the RX400h and the GS450h, are both down significantly, as is the
Highlander hybrid. Highlander sales are probably due to lack of availability as production of the new 2008 model only recently started. Overall Toyota hybrid sales are up fourteen percent through October. Stay tuned here at
AutoblogGreen in the next few weeks when we'll have a full review of the new 2008 Highlander hybrid in the ABG Garage.
