These are the very first spy shots of the current Toyota Prius, made in China, again by FAW-Toyota but this time in the joint venture’s factory in Chengdu instead of up north in Changchun. When the FAW-Toyota Prius will be listed is yet unsure but a debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show in December seems a good bet.

In China Toyota should have priced the Prius right by selling this new technology at a loss like it did in North America. Now among Chinese buyers this model has a reputation for being unaffordable, in addition to extending risky new technology.
