Replying to: xcel (May 12, 2004 5:21 pm) "In regards to profit on the Prius, have you seen someone state this as fact yet?"   "Toyota Motor Corp posted on Tuesday(May 11, 2004) a double-digit rise in annual profits as it slashed costs and drove sales higher in every major market, and forecast another strong year as it rolls out one hit model after another."   "Toyota, whose stock value of $120 billion exceeds the combined worth of the U.S. "Big Three" -- General Motors, Ford and DaimlerChrysler AG"   http://msnbc.msn.com/id/4951189/   With profits returning like this, would Toyota be loosing money on every Prius they sold? They plan to offer hybrid models in all line of vehicles by 2010. I only see profits just going up. Better buy Toyota stock now. LOL.   Dennis Replies to this message: gagrice (May 15, 2004 2:18 pm)

Hi Usbseawolf2000:   ___I have been watching Toyota’s total sales and increasing profits for what seems like forever … That does not make the Prius profitable by any stretch. When I see that verified fact posted, I will post it all over the net myself!   ___Good Luck   ___Wayne R. Gerdes

Hi Midnightcowboy:   ___It was first seen here: http://www.topgear.com/content/news/cars_coming_soon/03/ with rolling commentary from the Insighter’s over at Insightcentral dot net afterwards …   ___There is at least one dealer saying the same but until one arrives … many are actually hoping it’s the Insight II w/ even lower weight, higher performance, and even better fuel economy but Honda as usual is very tight lipped.   ___Good Luck   ___Wayne R.

Replying to: usbseawolf2000 (May 12, 2004 9:58 pm) Don't you think that is kind of misleading? GM has at least 13 different stocks on the NYSE. The last figures I saw for 2003 is that Toyota was slightly ahead of Ford selling a total of 4.9 million vehicles. Far behind GM that sold 6.9 million vehicles. I know that Toyota shows a profit more than the other majors. That could mean they are ripping us off. I agree that their stock may be the one to have as they have led the way on hybrid technology.

Replying to: backy (May 15, 2004 3:45 pm) This is the Honda Isight board so why are you posting last year's Prius articles? Initially neither Toyota's offering Prius or Honda's offering were profitable. Bascially they were a step beyond prototype limited availabiltiy to the public as a "loss-leader". The concept was accepted by the public and both Honda and Toyota have moved on. However, there are strong rumors of a Insight II in late 2005. The 2004 Prius the beta of the Toyta HSD system will die a quiet but heroic death!. Replies to this message: backy (May 15, 2004 6:40 pm)

Replying to: midnightcowboy (May 15, 2004 4:17 pm) Because one of the posters here asked to see some verification that the Prius is profitable, so he could post it all over the Internet. So far over 1/3 of the posts here deal either with the Prius or Toyota. So why pick on me for trying to respond to someone else's post?
