Heck I might buy a Prius for $15k loaded.
 
No doubt Toyota will be in touch with you shortly.

I don't buy it - I bet gagrice wouldn't take a Prius if it were offered to him for free!

No, you have him all wrong. He just likes to hear himself type. He really loves all things Toyota including Prius.

You should know me by now. I would hold onto it until they are in short supply and sell it at a profit. Of course I would only drive it with a disguise so none of my friends would see me driving it. Similar to being seen on a moped.

Toyota is announcing today that they now expect to be able to release a plug-in Prius using lithium-ion batteries by the end of this year, neatly one-upping Chevy's Volt in the process.

They will also announce the Next NiMH Prius (the next generation avail for the USA) at 62 miles per gallon.

Wow, and that's despite the fact that it is a little wider and more powerful than the current model.....
 
It all makes the Volt seem kind of irrelevant, considering that neither of these new Priuses is expected to be priced anywhere near the Volt's estimated $40K starting price. But I assume that the Volt will still beat even the plug-in Prius's electric-only driving range. It had better if Chevy's hopes for it are to pan out.

62 mpg?? Wow!!
 
Really?? I haven't seen anything about the EPA numbers at all. All I've seen are the various 'leaks' to the hybrid sites. I was expecting 50-54 mpg. Is this from a Toyota dispatch?

...isn't really that impressive when you realize VW put out a 50 MPG diesel Rabbit back in 1980.
