I'm waiting, too, especially since both are due out at approximately the same time.

The Honda better have the Prius' interior space. Will it be NiMH or Li?

I contacted my dealership. My rep said they are not yet taking orders for the 2010, but will call or email when I can place an order.

Not to be a party pooper, but don't you think it would be wise ......considering the 2010's will have new technology....to see the new Generation (I'm going to call this model Gen 1 because it is different than the existing Prius) in action before purchase? Normally I would never buy a first year line production vehicle.

I don't think that anyone has regretted purchasing their 2004 Prius... I don't see why the 2010 would be any different.

Mine said the same thing. Also, that the April, 2009 availability dates being reported here for the 2010 are not realistic. They are being told August-September.

Are you kidding. I have a deposit on one from a dealer that my family has bought cars from years and this car will be out in 10 months. This car is a snuzz you lose car, Go ahead and wait and see how far you are down the list. This a refundable deposit. Why wouldn't you put 500 down on it.

If I wanted to I could flip it and make money which I plan on not doing
