Toyota hybrid sales up 12% for the month. 77% of all hybrids sold are made by Toyota. The Lexus HS outsells every other non Toyota hybrid made except for Insight and that margin is pretty slim. Wow. the olde and tired and about to be replaced Camry outsold the Fusion again..Since April ONLY (when Fusion went on sale) Camry outsells Fusion by 1735 units. Fact is Fusion got beat by both the RX ...
the fusion hybrid being outsold by the RX450 is pretty bad for ford. RX450 is such a low production vehicle. thanks for the news FAS.

thomas artson: the fusion hybrid being outsold by the RX450 is pretty bad for ford. RX450 is such a low production vehicle. thanks for the news FAS. Yep. Avg transaction price of RX450 is over $51k
There's no doubt the Camry and its hybrid variant are the leaders is the sedan market. Toyota is the largest automaker in the world for a reason, people like refridgerators-on-wheels I guess. The numbers speak for themselves. The only thing I'd add to your statement is that: Ford Fusion sales up 24% year over year. Ford Taurus sales up 141% year over year. Lincoln MKZ sales up 27% year over ...
I really think it mostly has to do with perception, when people think hybrid, they think toyota, so tht's where they go.
The Verdict: A 638-hp flip-off to those in the mainstream media who think GM doesn?t build any good cars.
I'd also like to add it's extremely positive the two automakers have turned profits. http://wallstreetpit.com/11869-toyota-joins-ford-a nd-swings-to-a-surprise-profit
cobrajet84: I really think it mostly has to do with perception, when people think hybrid, they think toyota, so tht's where they go. They earned that perception by making the best hybrid vehicles on the road today. It's not mostly perception, its mostly that fact that they produce the best hybrids.
More self promotion for FAS's masters. Next question, why is FAS so bitter at every company that isn't Toyota? Should we trust that Toyota is telling us the truth or do we need to wait for federal regulators to dispute Toyota's claims. FAS, I'm not a Toyota hater but I definitely think less of a company that would allow their employees to behave as you do while openly stating they work for ...
Toyota made hybrids popular, so people who are shopping hybrids will shop Toyota. Hybrids are Toyota's specialty. Ford makes decent hybrids, but they are really not in the public eye. I think the Honda Intergrated Motor Assist is a weak hybrid system that consumers are finding of a less effectivness as compared to Toyota's.
There seems to be something wrong with our bloody ...

Gloria: TTAC is a Toyota/Honda shill site, that hates all things Domestic. I'm glad that you are proud to be associated with them. That said, you have a great gift, and that is the gift of stating the obvious. You never delve any further into things, as doing so would render your conclusions mute. The reality is FORD CANNOT BUILD MORE FUSION HYBRIDS, THAN TOYOTA CAN BUILD CAMRY HYBRIDS. That statement right there, is the end of the...

The Camry is the #1 selling mid-size car on the market right now, that can't be disputed and I don't believe anyone is. It's a good car plain and simple. The Fusion bashing doesn't make much sense because as I mentioned earlier its sales have increased substantially year over year. It also beat out the Camry in a recent reliability survey. They are both good cars, that's my...
Bellanca5.0: It just seems everything ends up being about sales; it seems... atvman is Dr. Feelgood: As an enthusiast, I really don't care what vehicle sells the best. However, don't think for a second think Ford doesn't care that Toyota moves more Camry Hybrids than Ford does Fusion Hybrids. Head to head tests may favor the Fusion, but the Toyota is still the go-to brand for hybrids. Oh I'm not...
impalastreetracer17: wow when will people get a brain that buying a toyota is not a great choice, there are way better options, GM and Ford have so many better vehicles than toyota They do? I GOT THIS
What, you actually post on TTAC. I have even less respect for you. You are a lapdog for Toyota and post on perhaps the worst auto cite on the web. Do you at least disclose your financial ties to Toyota when you post a review or do you prefer to lie about it and act like your reviews are honest?

I know before I came to this forum, I did not know that TTAC even existed. I usually hit Motor Trend, Automobile Magazine, Car and Driver, and Auto Week. I usually liked Healey's column in USA Today. There seems to be something wrong with our bloody ships today, and something wrong with our bloody system as well.
