Big Bucks, has the Toyota Highlander SUV hybrid been released in California yet?

I just purchased a Toyota Limited Avalon two weeks ago and am waiting for its delivery. I was amazed at to all the electornic computer equipment it has on it. It has no normal key to start it up--just press a button to start it. The limited is posted as getting 31 mpg on the highway. In a few years I may break down and get a hybrid highlander after they have been out and in production for awhile. However, by that time, the fuel cell cars may be in existence. With these advancements in occurs to me that numerous chips will be necessary just to run the cars.
