Toyota Plug-In Hybrid Coming Late This Year - Green Inc. Blog - NYTimes.com: "Toyota plans to introduce its plug-in hybrid electric vehicle late this year, a year earlier than originally planned, and a year ahead of the Chevrolet Volt, a senior Toyota executive said on Sunday.

James Lentz, the president of Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A., said in an interview that Toyota planned to initially make about 500 plug-in hybrids, which will be made available first to commercial customers. About 150 plug-ins will be slated for customers in the United States, Mr. Lentz said.

His comments came at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, which opened to the press on Sunday."
