Fort Myers Hybrid Auto Market Ranked #7 in Ownership

May 5, 2010 - PRLog -- Fort Myers Hybrid Auto Market is ranked the seventh designated market area (DMA) in the United States in which the most area residents own or lease a hybrid vehicle.

A DMA is an area or region whose population can receive the same or similar television, radio, newspaper and possibly Internet advertising content. DMAs are widely used in measuring audience trends.

This ranking comes from Scarborough Research, a company which performs various research studies on local, regional and national markets in the United States, including automotive trends, retail consumer habits, lifestyle trends and many other categories.

Says Pamela Templeton, Vice President of Ft. Myers Toyota (http://www.fmtoyota.com), “We’re proud that Toyota makes the most popular and highest quality hybrid vehicle available on the market today. Our customers have shown their commitment to decreasing their carbon footprint in the world and making it a better, cleaner place to live for everyone. We’re very excited to announce that for the first time ever 0% APR financing is offered on the new 2010 Prius and also the 2010 Camry hybrid making it an even more affordable and wise choice to drive GREEN.”

As of January 2009, Toyota and Lexus have sold more than 1.7 million hybrid vehicles. The new 2010 third generation Prius was developed with a more powerful gas engine. The third generation is the first Prius with solar sunroof which doesn’t effect its fuel economy—it still drives an average 50 miles per gallon and the air system runs of all electrical systems.

The 10 DMA rankings for this study are as follows:

1. San Francisco/Oakland/ San Jose, California
2. Washington, D.C.
3. West Palm Beach/ Ft. Pierce, Florida
4. Seattle/Tacoma, Washington
5. Buffalo, New York
6. Austin, Texas
7. Fort Myers/Naples, Florida
8. Boston, Massachusetts
9. Wilkes Barre-Scranton, Pennsylvania
10. Jacksonville, Florida
