The Prius will still sell in good numbers to people who fall into any of these groups: 1. Like the design. 2. Like to show off their "green-ness" 3. Need a 50+ MPG 5-passenger car. 4. Like the idea of doing something environmentally kind. 5. Have owned prior Prius cars. 6. Do not know that the Camry has a hybrid version. 7. Do not like the blandness of the Camry design. So the Prius will still be a success. But remember: Prius translated from it's source language means "First to come" or something like that. So regardless if it ever stops being sold, it was first and was the trailblazer.

Double Sixes, MidCow Still, as it is, my wife keeps telling me to slow down. So, at least for some people, a Camry can be too sporty!  I'd better stay away from that BMW M3.

I wonder how many TCH's will end up on ebay by flippers trying to make a buck. anyway I agree with midcow, I think the CH will canabalize prius sales. larsb is correct that people will choose a prius over a CH for the reasons he's listed, but MOST of those people already bought their prius. Don't get me wrong, the prius will still sell well, but we're not going to see the previous strong year to year growth in sales #'s for the prius. ( I bet next year (2007), prius sales will go DOWN- I would have said this year, but the tax credit will give the prius an artificial bump in sales this year that the camry won't benifit from)

We are yet to know if the IRS will add the 2007 TCH to the list of 2006 tax credit hybrid vehicles. They DID DO SO with the HAH and the FEH in mid-year, so they will probably add the TCH also, based on what they have done in the past.

Replying to: gagrice (Jan 19, 2006 7:48 am) More likely, even with a bump because of rising gas prices, they will hit 60K sometime LATE in the second quarter. PS In a related topic, it will be VERY interesting to see how Toyota hybrid sales fare AFTER the 60K is gone and the tax credit is no longer an incentive for 2006 buyers. Will they tank? Will they taper off? Will people even care or know that the tax breaks are over? Interesting discussion fodder....
