Prius proves hybrids aren't just a fad, even with cheap gas
10th best selling vehicle in America in JulyHybrid sales are dead. According to a number of the auto rags consumers don't want hybrid cars when gas prices are low. Period.
Well, despite gas prices that are far cheaper than last year - about $1.50 less - the Toyota Prius is the 10th best selling vehicle in America.
Call them a niche. Call them an interim technology, but the Prius proves that smart hybrids can sell, even when gasoline prices aren't terribly supportive. Yet, we all know gas prices will eventually head higher.
For years most other automakers have tried avoiding direct competition against the Prius, how much clearer does the writing on the wall need to become before automakers end this denial?

I agree that third generation Prius is awesome, but I think the second generation Prius was pretty awesome as well.
Eventually, that might be your path.
