Default What is the HB1 (Nat'l) "Late Availability" Prius

I saw online, a dealership has a bunch of 2010 "Vehicle Trim: 5dr HB I (Natl) *Late Availability*" listed for $21,750.
I haven't seen these cars listed on a Toyota site. Anyone familiar with this particular model?

At that price I would assume that the Prius I has arrived.

Hmmm, I'm trying to see what this doesn't have that the model II does have?

Looking at the standard features, I don't see a radio listed on the model 1.

This has already been documented on this site by the Prius Team. The Prius I model is going to be a fleet only model that is stripped down. I don't think it will be sold to the general public.

Yeah those are not Prius I. The Prius I will only be for fleet sales and those vehicles show touch tracer as an option which the I will not have (amongst many other things, but that was the first thing that caught my eye that these are not Prius I)

I will not trust this dealer, none of the 30+ Prius listed has a VIN number.
This looks like one of those we have your cars , just common in and deal trick.

Thanks for the heads up. I have dealt with Balise in the past. I walked out after the dealer started playing games with prices.
