Yes, definitely. I don't expect the Prius hype to subside until there are plenty of hybrids on the market, which will be at least until the end of 2004. Even then, you won't be able to get one right away.

Either way, I'm happy that the Prius is catching on with the American public. I'm sure a lot of Toyota's management is expressing a collective "whew" right now.
