(Bloomberg) Toyota Motor Corp., the world's largest maker of gasoline-electric autos, expects the Prius hybrid and related models bearing the same name to become its top-selling U.S. vehicle line by the end of the decade.

"We will end the decade with Prius being the number one nameplate in the industry," Bob Carter, Toyota's group vice president for U.S. sales, said in a call with analysts yesterday. The Camry, Toyota's top-selling U.S. model, "will be a close second, and that's not because there will be a drop in Camry sales," he said, according to notes from the call confirmed by Toyota.
