Toyota to make the Prius in the US?

Built at the plant Toyota and GM share?

Rumors continue to flow in from Japan that Toyota is considering a US manufacturing plant for the Toyota Prius. While this rumor isn't surprising, since Toyota has discussed such a possibility in the past, it's where the plant could be that is so interesting.

"Major daily Tokyo Shimbun reported Friday that Toyota Motor Corp. was in talks with General Motors Corp. about producing the Prius, now made in only Japan and China, at a joint venture plant in Fremont, California."

Toyota and GM working in the same plant on hybrid vehicles? Inconceivable?

that would be great. there is a lot technology that could be shared between these two automakers.

toyota's hybrid suvs and trucks suck compared to gm's and gm doesn't have any full, small hybrids.

i say its a perfect fit. hopefully it happens.
