Gee, less than half the national listings for Prius than what there were when I went looking to order one back in October of last year.

Not even 80 listings for all new, used, certified, pre-owned or whatever 2005 model year Prius in the entire nation.

This one lead the list, price wise. There were pages of used Prius avaliable well above MSRP.

But gee, 35K and it isn't even a package six, or BC? No NAV?

Demand is as high as ever, gotta be.

Whatever inventory was out there is GONE in my Toyota distributor area, zero on the www.toyota.com website.

Robert:

All we need is for the price of gasoline to shoot up $1 a gallon by the end of June and our Prius will end up being the wisest investments we ever made.

I do believe my Prius is a keeper.

Now if Toyota could only package a 3 cylinder turbodiesel hybrid into the Echo Hatchback and get 110 MPG ...

Hehehe, there is the option of emailing these assholes, and I let them know of what I thought of their price gouging. <evil grin>
