In the first nine months of 2012, the various models of the Prius from Toyota Motor Corp. TM.nyse sold 46,380 vehicles in California to become the best selling car in the country’s largest market for new cars. California accounts for about 11% of all U.S. new car sales, and 1.25 million new cars were purchased in the state during the first nine months of 2012.
Prius models have sold nearly 210,000 units in the U.S.
The best-selling vehicles in the U.S. right now are the F series trucks from Ford Motor Co. , which sold just over 310,000 vehicles in the first six months of 2012. Extrapolating to include the third quarter, the popular pickup trucks have outsold the Prius by more than 2 to 1. But sales are growing at just over half the rate of Prius sales, and with gasoline prices on a long-term climbing trend, it’s not a big stretch to imagine that the Prius line will be outselling the F series trucks sometime within the next five years. That would really be something.
