For the Record - June 11, 2008

Hummer sales: A chart that appeared with an article in Business on Saturday about declining sales of Hummers compared sales and mileage of 14 top-selling motor vehicles in May but erred in the way it referred to four of the vehicles. The chart showed sales of the Toyota Camry Hybrid and the Honda Accord Hybrid at more than 40,000 each, Nissan Altima Hybrid sales at 30,000 to 40,000 and Ford Escape Hybrid sales at less than 20,000. Those figures were for all versions of those vehicles, not just the hybrids. Figures for the Honda Accord included sales of its hybrid version, discontinued in 2007, that were still on dealers’ lots. Also, the fuel efficiency and price data for the four vehicles were based on the non-hybrid versions.
