Charlie, actually it can add up. Remember these are "free" to dealer typically. My son / fiance are buying car and and looking at 60 months. I don't think 3 is typical, more like 4%. so with Camry getting 0% finance It's $1,000 difference. \
That's on top of any other negotiations...

"But think there may be some aggressive sales going on!"
I was just talking to the Toyota dealer about this. They have low-interest financing, for customers with good credit, but considering that bank loans can be had for 3% or less, this is not a big incentive.

Charlie, the Ford decision was to mimic the approach of Toyota... My brother in law loves his lexus suv , and will try to get another soon (buys them when they come of lease)... and yes, too expensive for my blood... though I seriously looked at the escape, my wife was not serious... and Ford didn't want to sell the one we looked at, keeping it for a colection item (they are now closed .. out of business)...

reb4,
I think competition does expand the market. The new vehicle types help (C-Max, Prius V, Prius C, others).
I would like to see two more hybrid vehicle types, a minivan and a CUV. Minivans might be a dying breed (I think Toyota still sells 10K/month, 10% take rate would only be 1K/month, might be tough to make money on that) but a lot of CUVs get sold every month and a hybrid would make a lot of sense in either of these grocery-getters.
The Highlander is too big for what I have in mind; I'm surprised Toyota hasn't built a Rav4 hybrid, yet. Ford has apparently decided their CUVs will get better fuel economy through EcoBoost. A hybrid CR-V would be interesting.

CharlieH, I am impressed, Though what I am impressed with is the fact that it appears as though competition in this market has only increased sales.
Imagine that!!!
Impressed that Toyota has increased the sales effort to play toe in toe with the new competition...
Lot of Hybrids 25K in just top 12 from Toyota. 6,600 from Ford...Dasauto, I think it will depend on how the vehicle is priced. Also getting into the market with companies that have offered hybrids for 8 years - 16 years will be a challenge. Though stranger things have occurred. Why do you think the diesel is not selling better in the U.S. market?

Lets see what the numbers will be when Volkswagen unveils it's
version of the Jetta Turbocharged Hybrid....And the best part of this is that Volkswagen will be competing against themselves with the Diesel.Both cars deliver similar MPG's.

2013 February Hybrid Sales leaders
1 - 11,428 - Toyota Prius Liftback
2 - 4,147 - Toyota Camry Hybrid
3 - 3,806 - Ford Fusion Hybrid
4 - 3,148 - Toyota Prius C
5 - 2,849 - Ford C-Max Hybrid

10 - 1,215 - Kia Optima Hybrid
11 - 1,182 - Lexus CT200h
12 - 1,154 - Lexus ES Hybrid
Top dozen Hybrids are certainly offering a bump in sales as prices creep up for gasoline.
February 2013 Dashboard
"Rising gas prices and more product availability has led to increased hybrid share of 3.38 percent."
"Fusion hybrid sales running at 15 percent of total vehicle sales, slightly higher than the Camry hybrid’s share of that nameplate. Total sales of each of the Fusion and Camry hybrids by the end of the year should be substantial."
"The Lexus ES hybrid remains steady at 25 percent of sales and is likely to exceed 15,000 sales annually. The Avalon hybrid has reached 25 percent of total Avalon sales, and annual volume of almost 20,000 units is possible."
When consumers have a choice, and the value is available, they are choosing a hybrid...

Personally, I am just keeping my fingers crossed for some good applied engineering on these new models.
What we do not need, collectively speaking, is another 1978 Olds diesel fiasco. That boondoggle set the fuel efficiency movement back beyond measure.

February Numbers for some cars:
Chevy Volt - 1,626
Volt sales are up after a disappointing January of 1140 and up y-o-y against Feb 2012 sales of 1,023.
Prius (all) - 17,812
Prius sedan - 11,428
Prius V - 2,543
Prius C - 3,148
Prius PHV - 693
Overall Prius sales are down from Feb 2012 sales of 20,593, in spite of adding two new models (C and PHV) since.
I wouldn't be surprised to find that the overall hybrid market has shrunk since last February. Pickup trucks remain best sellers. I guess people are comfortable with the idea of gas approaching $4/gallon.

reb4, we are getting closer to some new non-German model diesel sedans soon. (Not that I mind German ones as I own two very different models now.)
Chevy Cruze maybe this summer I have read.
Mazda 6 by the end of the year perhaps?
I am interested in seeing what technology differences are employed and what the resultant mileage and performance numbers will look like once they hit the showrooms.
The announced Jeep and Ram offerings should prove interesting in the SUV/pickup markets, too.
Thanks for keeping abreast of the numbers and sharing them with the rest of us here.

No reb4, no hard data here.
I was just presuming that if it was counted a sale previously, then it was a sale - including product delivery.
Then if you have a negative sale, it must have been a return.
But you have a point - perhaps a deposit was paid at the end of the month, but the sale was not actually consummated and so the transaction had to be backed out the following month.
Still, it does not show well to have really low, much less negative month-over-month sales numbers.

Could also be some shakey sales that went through with financing that didn't pan out?
Not ruling an unhappy customer out.. but unless you have some information on it?

reb4, thank you for posting the data and link, as usual.
I think my favorite stats (from the web link, not from your posts) are from BMW...
...in 3 separate categories BMW had negative sales numbers!
A handful of unhappy customers apparently returned their X6, Active E, and 335d vehicles.
"The Ultimate Driving Machine", or not, depending upon your specific experience apparently.
