Toyota's 2010 Generation III Prius official page is up!

**Danny** · 11-07-2008, 11:46 AM

Just received a note from Toyota that their 3rd Generation 2010 Prius official page is up. I think this new picture shows a nice air of transparency for the car. I just hope that this color will be available when the car goes on sale!

The 3rd Generation Prius

That's a nice countdown, we might have to add something like that to PriusChat.

Wonder how many Gen II Toyota is expecting to sell before the Gen III comes out.

I wonder too . . . I wonder if we'll be able to see the stearing wheel lights without the aid of a night scope

So, why did I feel like Wonder Woman when I test drove that?

I love the way the are enticing people to come to the web site. Too bad, I have to keep my 2006 for life.

I think I'm going nuts!
I am a heartbeat away from buying a new 2009, but the left brain says to wait for 2010 and the right says to buy a 2009 then upgrade to a 3rd gen a year or two down the road when Toyota gets the 'bugs' worked out.
Help!

Regardless of what you do there will be new things in only a couple or a few years. When I bought the '04 it was the greatest thing out there. Until '06.

Unless you are all dead set on getting the newest and the greatest and all that, I suggest waiting until Jan/Feb of '09 and trying to get a great deal on an '09.

Keep in mind the countdown is to when they unveil the Prius. It probably won't be available to the consumer for a few more months after that. Also, you may want to look into if there is a waiting list on the 2010. If you can't get a 2010 for possibly another 8-10 months, would that affect your decision?
