Unless the govt reduces the duty on hybrid cars to 0% and the company wants to make an impact the hybrid is no go in India...

Remember Honda had to sell its Civic Hybrid at more than 50% discount and then it sold like hot cakes.

Agreed... I think goverment should do away with the high import duties in the name of protecting the industry. All it is protecting is the interests of the automobile companies.

Perhaps this has been the worst possible launch Toyota would have ever imagined.
Plagued with recall reports with various issues, Prius launch has been a damp squib!
