The GLRC's Dustin Dwyer reports:

If you buy a Toyota Prius in the next two months, you can get the highest hybrid tax credit on the market, but if you buy after October 1st, you'll only get half the current credit, and the credit for all hybrids made by Toyota and Lexus will be phased out completely within a year.
