Toyota Motor Corp. is looking beyond hybrids. The world's largest automaker plans global sales of a few thousand units of its hydrogen-burning fuel cell vehicle by 2015. The reason sales will be limited is because of the futuristic vehicle's anticipated high price. :2cents:
Next year, Toyota will begin sales of the plug-in hybrid version of the Prius, which can travel 14.3 miles in pure electric mode compared with just 1.3 miles for the non-plug-in Prius.
Toyota has not announced the price of the plug-in Prius, but the company did reveal that it would cost about 7,000 euros ($9,651) more than a comparably equipped standard Prius, which starts at 27,750 euros ($38,261) in Germany.:banghead:
