    I heard the same number, 90%, on the news radio today (KNX1070). Although they added that if Toyota does resume production at 90% in June, American car dealers will not begin to see the bump until August. As a result, they said the supply shortage should continue until "sometime in August."

    However, I have to agree that it is excellent news to hear production will resume to 90% in June, compared to previous estimates of not until around Sept. or Oct. Hopefully gas prices will continue to remain high so that those new Priuses are snapped up by the public and end up on the roads.
