2010 Prius production slow down?
US Prius production on hold?CNBC just reported that there is an unconfirmed story coming out of Japan that Toyota is putting plans for its Tupelo, MS plant on hold. Now, before you say, the 2010 Toyota Prius is supposed to be built in Blue Springs, MS, not Tupelo, recognize that Blue Springs is a tiny Mississippi town just a few miles outside of Tupelo.
Obviously, Toyota can still produce quite a lot of Prius hybrids without any US production, but Toyota had planned a huge production increase with the launch of the third gen. Prius. Is that increase possible without the new plant?

Just got a confirmation from CNBC that Tupelo and Blue Springs are one in the same. Thus, US production of the 2010 Toyota Prius might be on hold, just waiting for a Toyota confirmation.
