[quote=mechgmguy;1496554]...... The point lutz is making is that the plug in prius and the volt are still on similar timelines and that one isnt coming out a year or so before the other one.....QUOTE]

No, I don't think that was his intention at all. I think he's saying that Toyota is racing all by itself while GM bypasses the whole plug-in hybrid thing with a vastly superior E-Flex system. I haven't heard of anyone else that is even trying to race the E-Flex set up. Toyota is trying to fool people into thinking that a plug-in hybrid will be the same thing, but it's not even close! But there will be a lot of people who are (initially) taken in.
