I couldn't find a topic on this so I figured I'd start one.
I was surprised to learn that Toyota non-plugin hybrid sales are so strong in Europe.

From rough numbers in the US for the same period, Toyota-branded hybrids make up under 9% of Toyota US sales CYTD and for Lexus, it's about 14.4%, if I did my math right.

In comparison, look at Toyota's US sales for the same period. There's a chart where hybrid sales listed.The Japanese manufacturer underlines that the majority of sales (51%) are now hybrids (275,300), which especially in the western part of the continent accounts for 60% of the brand's total sales. In the case of the Lexus brand, the average is 69% (99% in Western Europe).
As in the case of the first quarter, sales of Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid remain marginal at 1,100, which is barely over 0.2% of the overall volume.
