This is May 3rd and the April sales figures have (as far as Google News can find) not yet been released......

This seems kind of odd, because in most months it's available on the 1st day of the month, usually no later than the 2nd......What gives !!?!?!?!?!?

I look forward to that info every month like a hawk looking for a baby chick.....

Here's the Prius info - still waiting on Honda.....

"For the third consecutive month, the popular Prius gas-electric hybrid mid-size sedan recorded its best-ever overall sales month with 11,345 units, an increase of 196.5 percent over April 2004."

from this page:

For those who like to accumulate sales figgers:

Jan 2005: 5566
Feb 2005: 7078
Mar 2005: 10,236
Apr 2005: 11,345

That's 34,225 for the year, on pace for 102,675 !!!

"Rising fuel prices and increased consumer demand for more fuel-efficient
vehicles led to a new all-time record result for Honda hybrid vehicles. April
sales of hybrid models jumped 70.7 percent on a daily selling rate basis to
5,579 including all-time record sales of Civic Hybrid, up 9.8 percent to
3,466 units, and sales of 2,023 Accord Hybrids, the best month since its
December 2004 launch. Year-to-date sales of hybrid models rose 56.7 percent
to 14,604 vehicles, versus year-ago results of 9,317 hybrids."

I often find this site useful - it had been updated yesterday afternoon with the figures (and it's been updated since then with an article on declining SUV sales):
