    So, the PIP has it's own assembly line.

    I doubt it, esp. given the low quantities produced. I suspect PiPs are interspersed w/regular Priuses and other cars on the same line.

    I posted about my visit to a (the?) Tsutsumi plant in late 03 at How 2010 Prius is made in Tsutsimi plant - Videos | PriusChat. There were plenty of other cars being produced w/models interspersed (e.g. Camry, Lexus ES (IIRC), Avensis, 2nd gen Prius, etc.)
