In the U.S. Toyota sold 144K passenger cars versus 96K light truck. 110K if you include Lexis. 67K of the passenger cars were assembled in the U.S., and 42K of the trucks.

"when the public begins"? -- "when" was three years ago. And they didn't take a clue from what happenned to their online "make your own advertisement" contest? Responsible businesses build contingency plans -- where was theirs? I'm sorry but I just don't envy you trying to defend these obvious boobs running our major corporations.

Honestly, what it all comes down to is whether an American company with American workers is going to offer me a PHEV that is at least market competitive when I am able to afford an upgrade. If they can, they will probably get my money, and if they cannot they won't. If I have to choose between one or the other, I'll choose the foreign company with American workers rather over the outsourced American company. If I cannot get either, I'll buy completely foreign. My wallet is not a charity operation for numbnuts. That's not an arguable point. That's just fact, as will be the case with the consumer at large.
