Sorry for the uneven columns. I tried to even them up a couple of times, but after each preview they were out of alignment again.

where are those numbers from exactly?

And.. those numbers are huuuuge from Jan to july 07-08.. 78... to 71 percent

Not even the hybrid numbers have risen from the rising gas prices.

FIT IS GO!

I don't exactly remember the source of the original figures, but here is a link to Marketwatch which show the same Honda figures.

From what I have heard (and I'm certainly no expert) part of the reason why the Prius sales have not increased is due to Toyota's inability to meet the increased demand.

Heh. S2000 down 56%, Pilot and Ridgeline down 47%. No big surprises there I guess.

Mmm may be a good time for my dad to pick up an S2000.

By the way I know there's a bunch of different silvers now for the S2000, but is there one that's like spot on with SSM for the Fit? NBP seems to be the same for a bunch of Honda cars, as does VBP (probably different names but color-wise the same).
