The Wall Stree Journal periodically lists the cars that are on dealer's lots the shortest time. Prius is currently in first place. Tc is second.

Most popular color is listed as blue, accompanied by a picture of an Azure Pearl Tc. I assume they mean hardest to find and therefore quickest off the lot.

I was pleased to see that 12% of sales are to my age group, over 56!

Here is a link to the article:

We can't see the article unless we are members. Mind posting a bit of it without linking to it?

Haha, I traded in a Honda Civic for my tC.

 

i traded a protege if that accounts for anything...i mean i could beat civics in it but i dont think that makes them one in the same hah

 

I traded a 2nd generation Prius (04) FOR a tC...lol

Guess I have good tast in popular cars...

 

Oops

 

I think about 43% of those 44% of women who buy tCs are down here. They've been getting a rep aroudn here (jacksonville Florida) as girly cars. I personally don't care. I still think that they've got the looks, got enough power to be considered quick, and what the heck...how better to attract a girl than in a "girly" car?!

 

Ditto! Well, I didn't trade in my Civic to the dealer, but I did most definitely sell my Civic for my tC!

 

I sold my Lexus for my Tc

7 out of 10, a toyota product?....odd.

something else that's fishy; the "average" price of the tC is $18,197.00 with a loan that has an "average" of $4,465.00 down, over an "average' of 60 months, with an "average' percentage rate of 6.94%, and the payment is an "average" of $334.00 a month?....

the "average" guy is getting screwed because those "averages" compute to a payment of $271.52 a month.

 

Me too.
