Earlier this month, when I was told that the Toyota Prius has become the best selling vehicle at some Toyota dealerships, I was absolutely shocked.
But the shock doesn't end there.
According to Fortune's Alex Taylor in Detroit's New Rules, the hybrid revolution is gathering speed and it is being driven by the Prius.
"While Honda announced that it is discontinuing the gasoline-electric version of the Accord because of slow sales, the Toyota Prius continues to defy gravity. Once considered a novelty, the Prius is selling more strongly now than at any time in its seven-year history. Its volume is running at twice the rate of a year ago and Toyota now expects that Prius will outsell every single domestic passenger car nameplate except for the Chevy Impala."
There's a market for hybrid cars. Will Detroit realize, however, the best path might begin with a hybrid-only brand?
