I stumbled across some pictures from the prius assembly line . They're kind of interesting. Two things about them, though. First, the captions are in spanish, and second, after every 2-3 frames, they stick in an ad. Just click on the right arrow next to "MAS" to keep going. dave.
For those who don't read Spanish, you can go to http://www.google.com/language_tools, scroll down, select Spanish to english, insert the URL http://www.univision.com/content/content.j...35584&pagenum=2 and Shazam (anyone remember Captain Marvel?) it changes to English!
Cool pics! Thanks for the link.

That google translator gives you a general idea of what is said but leaves a little to be desired, eh? "<< Once the cars are finished, happens to one of the most delicate processes: the revision of quality, when each vehicle is put under more than 3 thousand manual tests, ocular and mechanical. In this point of the manufacture it is where it more takes part the humans, who prove absolutely all the systems of the car, from the electrical mechanisms to raise and to lower the windows, until the brakes, the suspension and of course all the computers that a modern car takes." "where it more takes part the humans," LOL
how neat! i understood the majority of that... and on the link list above, they even have a special feature on hybrid cars in spanish.
