October 2006 US Sales

Our information is based on hybrid sales as reported by the manufacturers. For each model, this month's sales are shown compared to sales in the previous month and at the same time last year. We also examine hybrid market share by model and manufacturer. The historical sales graph for top-selling hybrid models shows estimated 2006 volumes based on sales-to-date.

This month, the Honda Civic Hybrid shows an extremely high annual growth rate (890%). This is due to the unusually low number of Civic Hybrids that were sold last October during Honda's model changeover. Based on sales so far this year, we estimate that Civic Hybrid sales will show a modest annual growth rate of about 20% this year.
