Subcompacts skyrocket

Searches on cars.com for new Toyota and Honda subcompact models increased in May, as high gas prices have helped make small cars big again.

Potential buyers searching on the Internet for vehicles were particularly interested in the new Toyota Yaris and Honda Fit subcompacts last month, according to cars.com.

Searches for larger sport-utility vehicles, such as the Toyota Sequoia, continue to spiral downward.
