    Just out of curiosity, is any of that 6.1 miles traveled at highway speeds (65-75 mph)? I'm guessing not being that short, but you never know.

    Was hoping for a Prius Plug-in news or leaked info at the Annual National Dealer Meeting, But it's was all for the all-new 2012 Camry and Camry Hybrid coming this fall.

    Wow, a headlight. By the fall there will probably be more info out about the plug in. It will be a waiting game.

    I thought Prius PHV was coming out this year - has it now been pushed back to next year ? Toyota is really dragging their feet.

    Toyota Prius Family says spring 2012.

    In the beginning of the 2nd video at http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-iii-2010-prius-main-forum/60002-prius-technology-video.html, from early 09, they sounded even less aggressive about when and whether they'd ship a PHV.

    http://pressroom.toyota.com/article_print.cfm?article_id=1839 says "as it begins to introduce plug-in hybrids (PHVs) and battery electrics (BEVs) in model year 2012". http://www.toyota.com/esq/articles/2010/Prius_Plug_In_Hybrid_Vehicle_%28PHV%29_FAQ.html says "The Prius PHV will come to market in 2012." http://green.autoblog.com/2009/07/05/toyota-will-launch-series-production-phev-prius-in-2012/ from 09 says 2012.

    http://green.autoblog.com/2010/11/22/toyota-outlines-future-eco-car-launch-schedule/ "By early 2012, TMC plans to begin sales of a "Prius"-based PHV, mainly in Japan, the United States and Europe."

    Yeah, there was never a firm timeframe on when it would come out. Then it was almost mid 2012 like June, but at least now we have early spring. I hope they see the high demand for this car already and can push it forward even a little more. With Toyota that's doubtful, but one can always hope.

    I think it is a miracle they are able to keep it on track. I remember Tsunami wave damaging the lithium battery plant.

    Well personally I'm hoping for a Spring 2012 release. Much better than getting a vehicle just before or during winter. At least I can enjoy it and see what it really can do as the weather gets warmer.

    Wanting a 2012 model in the spring of 2012 just for the sake of not receiving it during the winter makes no sense. I actually do not like the spring release of a 2012 but we will have no choice apparently. For those who trade say every 3-4 years paying full price for a 2012 in May of 2012 means you loose being able to use the vehicle for almost 7-8 months but still pay full price and loose that much more on a trade/private sale.

    Good Point, Paradox...

    For someone like me.. who tries to get the most use out of his vehicles.. it really doesn't matter when it comes out..
