Toyota may delay the opening of it's Mississippi plant in 2010 because of the economic downturn. That would put a serious crimp in the number of Prius it can build and sell in the US.
As of now, Prius are still a hot commodity, but given how sales of all cars have been diminished by the economy, Toyota says it is "reviewing all future production projects."
Toyota may be pushing back until 2011 or later but, as of now, no decisions have been made.
