Report: Toyota could supply GM with re-badged Prius

Well that's stupid. Toyota is already facing massive sales decreases. They'd be opening up a whole new can of whoop-ass on themselves. Granted, I'm sure their profits would still decrease or increase at the same rate.

Very doubtful this will happen. The Volt is years ahead of the prius and is more fuel efficent.

This is Toyota disinformation. They want to look like they are killing GM with kindness.

GM has the capability to do this on their own.

1uaw,
Big difference is the Prius is here, now. The Volt is still just talk, not to mention its already priced itself out of competition if it goes on sale for $30,000CDN.

Personally, if I were Toyota, I'd keep the Prius inhouse, don't see how giving GM something to compete against itself is beneficial except to perhaps keep the anti-Japanese crowd quiet.

In a word, this is garbage. GM doesn't need the Prius. And it seems some of the less informed are still yapping away, as if the Volt is intended to be direct competition for the Prius. It isn't. You want a Toyota hybrid to compete against a GM product? Compare the Lexus HS250h and the Volt. Now THAT'S a comparison. Similar price, similar market. In case you haven't noticed a Chevrolet product can compete with products its name says it shouldn't. Corvette...say it with me...CORVETTE...kicks every sports car ass this side of 100 grand. EVERY one. And kicks some on the other side as well.

The first sentence is the entire story...

GM has said that New United Motor Manufacturing Incorporated (Nummi) has been relegated to "Old GM" in its Bankruptcy restructuring.

Toyota is just wasting their time,the shots are being called by Stevie the Rat, or to be precise. Steven Rattner, Barack Obama's 'Car Czar'

huu, cars=politics, and sometimes in politics you have to do something you keep your enemies happy in order to keep good PR. I hate it, but thats how people think.

This Gmoyota rendering is comical. LMAO!!!! Hey Gmoyota (Prounounced Joy-Mota) has a nice ring to it.

Then again its going to happen anyway. Hey iam just trying to prepare you guys for it. GM and Toyota want global dominance, however with hungry companies like Hyundai, VW, Nissan/Renault-Citroen PSA, and FIAT. those days of GM or Toyota dominating the market are over. They are realizing that the only way to dominate is to work together. Iam just being real guys.

tango,
Right now the Volt isn't competing against anything because its not real. When I see one in the showroom, then we can pick a competitor.

I'd wait to see what Chevy ends up doing with the interior. The outside looks good, but they might screw it up and make the interior out of cellophane and ziploc bags (hopefully its better than th G5).

Theyll probably put a Prius interior in the Volt. Or a Vibe interior.
