wow... The RXh is still selling well.. odd. The HiHy isn't probably up there in the thousands, is it?
I expected much better sales of the Hybrid Camry and GS. And the Prius on the way down. Conversely, the RX Hybrid is doing well. Do you think that has anything to do with NYC using them as taxi cabs?
