Hybrid sales growth slowing?

The Prius isn't slumping

Is the sales growth of hybrid cars slowing down? Earlier this week I responded to reports that hybrid sales growth was slowing and basically called the news a non-story.

Perhaps hybrid growth has slowed, but one certainly wouldn't know it judging by Toyota's hybrid sales. Prius sales continue to grow. The Toyota Camry hybrid is possibly outselling the combined hybrid sales of all other automakers, and Toyota is accomplishing all of this with a reduced hybrid tax credit.

Certainly, hybrid sales are a bit more sluggish at Honda and Ford, and Nissan is only selling hybrids in a few states, but Toyota's hybrid sales are pushing Toyota into record monthly sale's territory.

I'll bet Toyota would accept that kind of sluggishness any day.
