The news seems sparse thus far, but it would be nice to get it all in one place. I loved my first prius (07 touring, totaled) so much, I'm looking forward to getting either the 2010 model, or the lexus model assuming it doesnt' cost too darn much or lose too much MPG.

If my wait for an '08 is too long I may just hold off and wait for the re-design in '09 as a 2010 model. |

Bingo. It'll probably have a more sporty feel and better MPG than the prius because of the lithium. Of course, it's all hogwash until the info is leaked or the model is debuted. | |

My neighbor works for Toyota Corporation in Torrance, CA and i just had a quick chat with him today. He works in Pricing/Operation management team and although he is not allowed to release any dates or detailed info on upcoming models for both Toyota and Lexus Hybrids, he stated that Lexus version of Prius will cost near $35k ~. He said they are still working on the Li-Ion battery due to its safety and long-term performance. He said it will happen soon but it wont be cheap. (One simply due to weak $ against Yen and energy cost) Seems like Toyota wants to make sure they take advantage of the demand.  | |
