The five fastest selling cars in the USA are Toyotas. And in the rest of the world they sold more cars than anybody else. Americans just don't know what Toyota does around the world.

[@jumpierwolf]

The challenge with hybrid and especially plug in hybrids is where you put the battery. For a minivan, a low flat load floor is important so it can't be in the back without hurting functionality. So toyota put the battery underneath the front two seats. The batteries for plug in hybrids are way larger and unless batteries get significantly smaller, Toyota would have to do a complete and major redesign of the sienna if it's going in the back. Chrysler got around this by giving up their stow and go for the second row and put the battery there instead for the Pacifica.

I think they might be banking on us pulling out of the recession or people becoming apathetic to it. Happens every time and makes a great chance to raise profits per car. Just look how the gas crisis was this major issue back in the 70s when gas was $0.551 a gallon or about $3.69 today. Yet today the gas price is $3.79 and people don't consider it a big deal. People just stop complaining at some point and give up and they relish that.
