I'm sorry, what's the most popular, highest-selling car in history? And what 
is the #2 car?

I rest my case.

Really?

... do you have any EXPERIENCE with this?

Because I do.

A 'good used Prius' is harder to sell here than an SUV currently.

We just traded one in on an SUV. We got significantly less than
when fuel was $4+/gal simply because the average time a 'good used
Prius' sits on a dealers lot is significantly longer now.

According to the Automotive News, this is not a local phenomenon.

Sales of SUV's are UP - Sales of Prius are DOWN.
