Poll: 2 Days Till 2010 Pricing (maybe) - Will you be Happy or Disappointed?

So we may or may not be wrong with our guess that 2010 Prius pricing will be announced Wednesday on Earth Day. But the real question is, do you expect to be Happy or Disappointed with Toyota's pricing point on the new Prius?

The aim has to be to get the car into as many hands as possible. Toyota has made quite a big bet on hybrids.

Sorry, Danny, but I just couldn't make the choice between the two options. I don't expect to be "Happy" only because it will be a difficult time to buy a new car, regardless of pricing. I may be "Disappointed," but I don't think I will be, because I expect the Toyota pricing to be pretty fair and competitive. I could be "Discouraged" or "Dis-heartened" -- this would be if I felt Toyota was gouging. I doubt this will happen, though I suspect Toyota will be pressed hard to get a low price on the II, only to produce few and charge big bucks on the IV and V -- particularly those with the two big packages.

I'm just trying to remain calm in advance of the big day . . .

I will be happy if the price for the package 3 price is $25500 or less.

I want the 17" wheels and they only come with all the tech features, so I expect the loaded up Prius to be pretty pricy overall ... I'm thinking at least $33,000

How about neither?

I don't intend to buy a 2010 Prius so the price has no effect on my life. I will be interested to see if I was right in my prediction for what a standard model will cost so really my interest is just ideal curiosity. Happy or disappointed are much too strong of descriptors.

For me, I think the price will be good, but the recent drop in value of my current Prius will undermine any deal that Toyota can make on the 2010. For that reason I believe the 2010 pricing will be disappointing.

I am in the same boat as Tom but voted for Happy. I predict the 2010 price will be lower than a comparable 2009 (based on the Japanese pricing). I am happy if the 2010 price is lower but my trade-in value for my 06 will be lower.

My 1st gen value has declined significantly as well, though is really close to the 2004 value due to the "low miles".
