Official: 2010 Toyota Prius is the best selling car in Japan! Honda Insight gets the 3rd place!

The month of May saw the Prius take the top spot as the best selling car in Japan. The Insight only took third place as the Honda Fit supermini, slid to second position. The refurbished Toyota Prius was offered for sale last month and saw sales figures rise to 10,915 units.

Aiding sales is the Japanese government’s eco-incentive tax breaks for the promotion of eco-friendly technology. Customers who showed previous interest in hybrid models but could not afford them are currently starting to purchase them as motivated by the tax break.

Exactly. It just proves that German brands that AutoSpies promote are getting more and more desperate when seeing the new hybrid wave coming. Volkswagen commercials clearly prove the point.

2010 Toyota Prius is a brand new car.

Exactly unlike the Volkwagen Golf 6 which is a refurbished Volkwagen Golf 5.

Desperation shows.

It's Official 2010 marks the year most Japanese buy lame, slow, un-appealing cars. This just in! Apparently Japan now emits an odd humming sound as battery powered cars roll through the mountainside.

News Flash! Japan most toxic nation after all batteries in Hybrid cars leak into soil.

Sorry I'm being way off base, but I'm a big hater of the Prius, Insight, and anything else that is unecessary.
