I fully expect the Toyota plug-in hybrid will be cheaper than the Volt. So what? They are nothing alike. Making the the Prius into a "plug-in" vehicle does very little for it, and isn't any big deal. It is just Toyota's attempt to "compete" with the Volt (which won't even come out for two years!) The Volt is an electric vehicle. That "plug-in" capacity is central to it's function, and helps it to a tremendous degree.
And the Prius doesn't come even close to being what the Volt (or any E-Flex equipped vehicle) will be.
