Replying to: camry04se (May 09, 2008 4:10 am) The Prius is such a limited production vehicle that I'm not at all worried about being able to trade in my soon to arrive '08 for a 2010 when/if the time comes. I live in San Antonio and would love for Toyota to add a Prius line to the Tundra that they manufacture here. It is my understanding that the plant here was built to handle two lines and all of the on site suppliers were built to do the same. It would be a little ironic to build the hybrid in Texas...for many reasons.

Replying to: camry04se (May 23, 2008 5:11 am) I also got metallic grey with #2 package. I think it looks very good. I can't weight for mind to get here.

Replying to: camry04se (May 23, 2008 3:57 am) Thanks From your Avy to your Prius you should cut that $470 monthly gas bill in half. oldcoach and camry04se: When you both get yours post any questions you can think of. Hopefully your salesperson(s) have some knowledge of the Prius and HSD and is able to give you a thorough delivery. There's nothing worse then coming from a vehicle from the mid 20th Century and being dropped into the cockpit of the Millenium Falcon and told 'CYa'. You'll love it nonetheless.

Replying to: kdhspyder (May 23, 2008 8:43 pm) I think my dealership will do a good job on informing me about the Prius, as there is a lady that all she does is inform the prius buyers.I sure hope so. The only concerns I have are the tires and wind shere, kdhspyder should these be big concerns? Will be getting back to you when my new car arrives.

Replying to: oldcoach (May 27, 2008 7:00 am) Excellent. I am sure you hope tomorrow is Thursday. Called my dealer last Friday and was told that mine got delayed three more weeks. Please report back how you like yours.. but again, I might know the answer already. I nornally drive between 75 - 80 mph on the freeway, I wonder how does that affect the mileage? Enjoy your new toy.

Replying to: oldcoach (May 24, 2008 2:29 am) The tires are no biggie issue. They are the Goodyear Integrity's which are just run-of-the-mill midsize/compact tires. Nothing special nothing horrible. Mine lasted exactly 50000 miles with no issues. Replaced with the next level up Goodyear Comforttreads. I expect these to last 80000 mi. Wind buffetting is only really noticeable in that it's there. It doesn't affect the driving at all. Replies to this message: oldcoach (Jun 03, 2008 3:03 pm)

Replying to: kdhspyder (Jun 03, 2008 11:56 am) Kd I got the Prius on thursday may 29,2008. It is one great car.We have about 300 miles on it and are getting 49.6 miles per gallon. Really like not using a key, the climate control system is outstanding, it also has a very good stereo system. Also the Prius really surprised me with its power on the interstate, and the smoothness of the transmission. It handles real well. The only trouble i am having is getting it away from my wife to drive. Will keep you up dated and informed of any questions.

At this point , We are number eleven on the list for possible delivery in september. (Do salesmen ever stretch the facts on these statements? I wish I could find out from some one of knowledge and authority just when the 2009 models will be avail.
