Hybrid sales tank in January, but...

Prius sales down 28.6 percent

Sales of hybrid cars, like all vehicles, were hammered in January, down 31.2 percent according to GCC. Yet, it might not be as bad as it seems.

Sales of passenger cars dropped 36.3 percent. So relative to the overall market, sales of hybrid vehicles seem to be stabilizing to some extent.

Still, that stabilizing trend was completely based upon the Toyota Prius. Sales of all other hybrids dropped much more than the Prius.
