Toyota's plug-in hybrid launch delayed by several months TOKYO (AP) — Toyota's much ballyhooed plug-in hybrid Prius Prime is being pushed back by several months, with the new sales date set for late this year or early next year. Toyota Motor Corp. said Wednesday the launch dates were being delayed for Japan, but not for the U.S. and Europe because they were set to follow Japan from the start. It was unclear what the dates were for any of the regions. http://www.mail.com/int/scitech/news/4519626-toyotas-plug-in-hybrid-launch-delayed-months.html#.1258-stage-set7-6
