Toyota to produce hybrid vehicles in U.S., announces new models

Several months ago, Toyota hinted that it would build hybrid vehicles in the U.S., but the Japanese auto-giant made it official just a couple of weeks ago.

The success of the Prius hybrid in California has had some speculating that Toyota might build a factory in that state. Toyota; however, hasn't yet confirmed where, when, or which cars it will produce in the U.S.

Currently, Toyota only offers the Prius hybrid, but the Lexus RX 400h hybrid goes on sale April, 15, with the Toyota Highlander hybrid to follow that summer.

Recently, Toyota also announced two more Lexus hybrids. In 2006, the Lexus GS hybrid will be sold in the U.S., followed by the Lexus LS in 2007 or 2008.
