False alarm, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/prius">Prius</a> fans. According to <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/toyota">Toyota</a>, the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/prius v">Prius V</a> MPV is on track to hit the market as scheduled. Reports <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/05/13/quake-fallout-may-delay-toyota-prius-v-sales-by-up-to-a-year/">recently began circulating</a> indicating that the Japanese automaker was delaying the vehicle's launch due to the lingering impact of this year's <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/earthquake">earthquake</a>, tsunami and nuclear disasters. Word was that a battery shortfall was causing the hold-up, though the manufacturer has now confirmed that the large hybrid will debut this fall as originally scheduled.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, the arrival of the Japanese-market Prius Alpha is still slated to experience a delay of indeterminate length. <a href="/2011/05/13/toyota-announces-prius-v-still-on-track-for-u-s-launch-this-fal/#continued">Hit the jump</a> for the brief press release.<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/05/13/toyota-announces-prius-v-still-on-track-for-u-s-launch-this-fal/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>2012 Toyota Prius V still on track for U.S. launch this fall</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/05/13/toyota-announces-prius-v-still-on-track-for-u-s-launch-this-fal/">2012 Toyota Prius V still on track for U.S. launch this fall</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Fri, 13 May 2011 19:53:00 EST.
