No Plans to Produce Prius in the U.S yet

Jim Press, the new boss of Toyota's North American operations, confirmed that Toyota will not produce the popular Toyota Prius in the U.S. anytime soon. For now, the company is content to produce the Camry hybrid in the U.S. as it develops its North American hybrid supply chain. Still, Mr. Press did note that hybrid cars are a fundamental piece of Toyota's future (more). Considering that Press, who drives a truck, was a big force behind the Prius, perhaps he can solidify Toyota's plans to produce a hybrid truck.
