Despite all the controversy surrounding Toyota in recent months, sales of the hybrid Prius model have soared.
In February, 538 units were sold – which is more than double the previous best month for sales, which was 237 in February 2008.
The third generation Prius has been short-listed for The World Car of the Year 2010 and has been Japan’s top selling car for nine consecutive months (May 2009 through to January 2010). More than 1.6 million have been sold since the first generation was launched in 1997.
