It Strikes Me Funny: Great news! Cheapest hybrid a hit

Finally, some good news for the auto industry. Hybrids are selling - demand is soaring!

When’s the last time you heard ‘soaring’ related to the auto industry and it wasn’t related to debt or other troubles? Never?

I must be an old geezer because I can remember when SUV sales soared in the cheap fuel era.

There’s only one problem with the great news. It’s not from Canada or the US.

“Demand for the Insight, the cheapest hybrid vehicle on market, is soaring in Japan.”

Stink! Though a geezer, I was almost ready to do a cartwheel.

Any good economic news where you are?
