Currently, the hybrid wars are heating up in Japan after the sales of hybrid vehicles have slowed in the United States. In Japan, the all-new Honda Insight recently became the first hybrid vehicle to ever take the top monthly sales spot and now comes word that Toyota has taken 75,000 pre-orders for its new Prius hybrid.
From the Japan’s Nikkei business daily, for the all-new third-generation Prius hybrid, Toyota has received more than 75,000 orders for it. Toyota not only shattered it’s predicted pre-order mark of 40,000 units if those figures are correct, but has already sold more Prius vehicles in Japan than it did in all of last year (73,000 units).
Compare with Honda, they took 21,000 pre-orders for its Insight hybrid before selling 10,481 units last month. For the Japanese market, the 2010 Toyota Prius will officially go on sale on this Monday, with an estimate price of $20,750 – or about $1,750 compare with the Honda Insight.
