Toyota to unveil Prius in RP next week

The wait is finally over for car nuts itching for an environment-friendly ride!

Toyota Motors Philippines will unveil the Prius - the first hybrid in the local market - on June 19.

It may be recalled that Toyota Philippines vice chairman Alfred Ty earlier said "things have changed" in the Philippine market that has prompted the manufacturer to bring in the Prius.

"There's a market for that here, that's why we're bringing it here," Ty said.

Prius buyers in the Philippine market will join the ranks of Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz and Brad Pitt in saving the environment by using a hybrid vehicle.
