Hybrid sales dive in November, even the Prius

No hybrid was safe from sagging sales in the month of November, including the King Kong of hybrid sales, the Toyota Prius, sales of which were below 8,000 units for the first time in eight months. That’s still enough to call the Prius the 800-lb. gorilla of hybrids since the second best seller, the Highlander Hybrid also from Toyota, sold only 2,353 units in comparison. Toyota alone captured 75 percent of all hybrid sales, with 7.1 percent of its total vehicle sales coming from its hybrid lineup. Ford sold only 998 Escape Hybrids and Honda only 837 Accord Hybrids. The Honda Insight soldiered on with a mere 60 units sold. Check out more hybrid sales figures over at Green Car Congress.
