The folks at Washington DC Lexus should be happy with the recent news of their hybrid sales for July 2010 compared to last year's sales. Lexus and Toyota combined represented 73.9% of the total hybrid sales in the United States. This is great news, but the fact that hybrid sales only accounted for 2.27% of the entire sales and fell 33% compared to last year is not so great news. While the economy is doing better and there was a 5% increase in vehicle sales compared to last year, Americans should be being more eco-conscious and paying a bit more for the hybrid models. You already don't see many hybrid models at Cincinnati Used Car Auctions because their owners end up loving them so much they don't get traded in often, unless someone needs a different size for some reason. Of course, Arizona VW Dealers are sitting pretty this month, as their total sales increased by 27% compared to last year's sales. While it didn't itemize out their hybrid sales, VW does sell many hybrid or clean burning diesel engine vehicles.
Other vehicles that did well include Honda and some of their hybrid models. The Honda Civic Hybrid sold 617 cars and the brand new model Honda Insight sold an impressive 1,858 units! Ford's hybrid line up did pretty well in total sales. Ford and Mercury combined sold 2,986 hybrids for July 2010. The Fusion sold 1,586 and the Escape sold 1,260! People like the trusted reputation and quality you get from Ford products anymore. The more costly Mercury Milan sold 90 units and the Mercury Mariner sold 100 units. Toyota, as mentioned before, had the biggest piece of the hybrid pie this last month. 14,102 Prius models were sold and the Camry Hybrid sold 1,276. Even the large Highlander Hybrid managed to move 575 units off the lots. The new Lexus hybrid models are selling better than expected, with the RX450h selling 1,356 models!
