Toyota Prius to be Built in the United States;

Toyota expects its next-generation Prius to be built in the United States, sources say. The Toyota Prius can be purchased with financing discounts offered from Special Auto Finance deals. Toyota's latest Prius will have a few updates and changes that are expected to continue to make the Prius one of the top selling hybrids on the market. The Prius can be found at Jackson Toyota Dealers and other Toyota Dealers throughout the country.

Peoria Volkswagen also offers several choices for VW models that are not hybrids but are fuel efficient. The new Prius was being planned to be built at Toyota's Mississippi manufacturing plant, but the new Corolla was built at the plant instead of the Prius. The local production of the Prius ended when a factory owned by General Motors in California was closed this year.

The local manufacturing of the Prius at the moment will not occur, however once the Prius is revamped the new model will be able to be built in the United States. The current Prius with its parts, battery, and technology is not capable of being built in the United States due to the improper resources and manufacturing capabilities of Toyota's current plants.

The fourth-generation Prius will not be released until 2016 and the new vehicle manufacturing location has not yet been decided. However, it will very likely be in the United States where labor costs are dropping and there are more incentives for automakers like Toyota to outsource vehicle production.

The demand for the Prius will depend on the speed of recovery of the United States market. If the market improves to over 12 to 14 million vehicles per year in the next few years, there will likely be an increased demand for the Prius and other vehicle models. Current projections for the United States vehicle market for 2010 are currently less than this amount.
