    DETROIT -- Toyota Motor Corp. ™ is expected to announce soon it will significantly boost output of its Prius sedan to meet surging demand in the U.S. and elsewhere for the gasoline-electric hybrid.

    Toyota executives familiar with the impending move said that supply of the red-hot Prius for the U.S. market, which is pegged at around 47,000 vehicles a year, might even double eventually as a result of the anticipated expansion.

    The executives said the Japanese auto maker most likely would expand Prius output by producing it at an additional location in Japan.

    Toyota should have some excess capacity after cancelling the Celica and the MR2 sypder.

    Except they are still available in the US untill end of model year 2005, so at least another year. Anyhow, these are not cancelled in Europe.
