In the <="http://luxurycar-hybrid.blogspot/2009/11/toyota-prius-iii-to-be-launched-in.html">Toyota Prius vs Honda Insight hybrid battle of sales in Japan, it is the <="http://luxurycar-hybrid.blogspot/2009/11/toyota-prius-iii-to-be-launched-in.html">Prius which continues to rule. 
In October, the <="http://luxurycar-hybrid.blogspot/2009/11/toyota-prius-iii-to-be-launched-in.html">Prius was Japan's number one selling car for the sixth consecutive month. Toyota's third-generation model put 26,918 units on the board, while the <="http://luxurycar-hybrid.blogspot/2009/05/honda-insight-becomes-first-best.html">Insight was down in ninth place with 7,074 units.
The <="http://luxurycar-hybrid.blogspot/2009/05/honda-insight-becomes-first-best.html">Insight, the first hybrid to top Japan's sales charts this April, is also now regularly being outsold by the <="http://luxurycar-hybrid.blogspot/2008/09/honda-jazz-hybrid-due-in-2010.html">Fit (<="http://luxurycar-hybrid.blogspot/2008/09/honda-jazz-hybrid-due-in-2010.html">Jazz) in the country too. The <="http://luxurycar-hybrid.blogspot/2008/09/honda-jazz-hybrid-due-in-2010.html">Fit was Japan's second biggest seller in October with 15,444 units. Nonetheless, Honda isn't concerned about the <="http://luxurycar-hybrid.blogspot/2009/05/honda-insight-becomes-first-best.html">Insight's flagging sales.
First, the sales target for the <="http://luxurycar-hybrid.blogspot/2009/05/honda-insight-becomes-first-best.html">Insight is set at 5,000 units per month, so Honda's hybrid is still actually well ahead of schedule.
Second, the <="http://luxurycar-hybrid.blogspot/2008/09/honda-jazz-hybrid-due-in-2010.html">Fit is still a very competitive all-rounder, especially in terms of mpg, utility and pricing, and is on the market for much less than an <="http://luxurycar-hybrid.blogspot/2009/05/honda-insight-becomes-first-best.html">Insight. Therefore Honda is happy the <="http://luxurycar-hybrid.blogspot/2008/09/honda-jazz-hybrid-due-in-2010.html">Fit is where it is and the <="http://luxurycar-hybrid.blogspot/2009/05/honda-insight-becomes-first-best.html">Insight is more than living up to expectations.
Toyota Prius posts very strong sales for October (JP)
