![]() In the US the Prius is still the most popular hybrid even though the current model is now four years old. Camry sales are roughly a quarter of those for the Prius, with both models keeping Toyota way out in front for hybrid car sales.Toyota's sales report for January 2008, shows that their hybrid sales in the USA reached 10% (18 652 units) of total Toyota light vehicle sales for the month. The Prius hybrid is currently the only Toyota hybrid available in Australia. The Lexus arm of the company offers the RX luxury 4WD and GS sedan. Toyota sold 1,974 Priuses in 2006 in Australia, and sales increased by 60% in 2007 with improved supply. Sales and Marketing director of Toyota Australia, Dave Buttner believes the added volume of a Camry hybrid will have a flow-on effect for Prius sales. It is expected that price improvements in hybrids will see their selection be as much about economy as the environment. Locally produced hybrids may not hit the market until 2011 giving Australians plenty of time to consider the alternatives.
