Toyota's Prius hybrid was Japan's top-selling car in March for the 11th straight month despite massive recall woes, an industry group said Tuesday.
Toyota Motor Corp., reeling after recalls over issues that included braking problems with the Prius, sold 35,546 units of the gas-electric vehicle in the domestic market last month, according to the Japan Automobile Dealers Association.
"The recall woes did not appear to dent demand for the Prius. Despite the recall trouble, the automaker cannot keep up with surging demand for the Prius," said Toshiki Miyake, a spokesman for the association.
