Friends: 0 | Being the eternal optimist that I am, it was 144 in late May, so 241 could be the beginning of something beautiful  |

Friends: 0 | Your dealer is an idiot They are not retooling for the 2005 Prius. LOL! Your dealer is either lying or misinformed! The only thing they retool for is a model change like we expect with Tacoma for 2005... Prius is pretty much the safe, they only will change the digit in the VIN# that denoted the model year of the car. |

Friends: 0 | If factory is closed for 1 month...this may mean minor changes to 05 Prius like adjustable seat??? This would not involve a retool...just a reconfiguration. Mike |

Friends: 0 | Recent article...what do you Prius owners say?? MARK PHELAN: Cutting the hybrid hype They gulp less gas but the fuel savings are better for city drivers June 3, 2004 BY MARK PHELAN FREE PRESS AUTO CRITIC The summer driving season has arrived, and sky-high gasoline prices came along for the ride. Everyone from daily commuters to long-haul vacationers seems to be talking about the new generation of hybrid gasoline-electric powered vehicles, most of them with images of huge savings dancing in their heads. HONDA CIVIC HYBRID 42.7 average miles per gallon. FORD ESCAPE 33.3 average miles per gallon. TOYOTA PRIUS 48.4 average miles per gallon. |

Friends: 0 | Re: They have not shut down for any reason I am going down to the drug store for toenail clippers and a scalpel! Dave, routine maintenance is done routinely on Toyota lines, weekly, daily. There is no stoppage that's once yearly. That's part of the KAIZEN philosophy. And, sadly, were the other carmakers to use this philosophy, we'd be getting a run for our money! But, quality control is not an annual thing for Toyota -- it's hourly, daily! Retooling is when a car or product changes... and it's done with plenty of planning and quickly. Dianne |
