US = 0.5 cars per million population

I think that's about fair, considering Japan is Toyota's home turf.]]>Dec 15th 2009 3:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/15/toyotas-plug-in-prius-hybrid-goes-into-testing-across-the-glob/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/15/toyotas-plug-in-prius-hybrid-goes-into-testing-across-the-glob/Dec 15th 2009 4:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/15/toyotas-plug-in-prius-hybrid-goes-into-testing-across-the-glob/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/15/toyotas-plug-in-prius-hybrid-goes-into-testing-across-the-glob/Dec 15th 2009 6:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/15/toyotas-plug-in-prius-hybrid-goes-into-testing-across-the-glob/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/15/toyotas-plug-in-prius-hybrid-goes-into-testing-across-the-glob/

Time to die you fakin nubs.

I believe if Toyota had kept the same momentum that got them to release the original Prius they could have a Lexus that could compete nicely with the BMW hybrid however the Lexus 250h is slow, doesn't get very good MPG and really doesn't have a lexus smooth drive.

Good for Toyota on finally releasing a plug in, LION battery powered hybrid - shame on them for being half a decade late on delivery. Maybe a few years after that they'll release a LIPO battery. Is GM now running Toyota - why so far behind the technology curve when you were once so far ahead of the rest?]]>Dec 15th 2009 10:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/15/toyotas-plug-in-prius-hybrid-goes-into-testing-across-the-glob/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/15/toyotas-plug-in-prius-hybrid-goes-into-testing-across-the-glob/Concept car does not equal a production vehicle. Once BMW puts the rest of the trimmings on their Diesel Hybrid for production, expect a much more pedestrian vehicle. There's no way they'll sell a car that outperforms and gets vastly better mileage than their M3 and not cost a fortune.

The Prius already has 10 years of production and millions of happy owners, with a very proven technology. Other than locomotive makers, no one has a working, reliable hybrid diesel. BMW may buck that, but I'm sure there's going to be plenty of repair bills for owners.]]>Dec 15th 2009 10:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/15/toyotas-plug-in-prius-hybrid-goes-into-testing-across-the-glob/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/15/toyotas-plug-in-prius-hybrid-goes-into-testing-across-the-glob/
How long have consumers been retrofitting a plug in kit to their Priuses?
