2010 Toyota Prius Preview w/ Video

**Tideland Prius** · 03-03-2009, 02:49 AM

Prius: Latin, meaning: "to go before."
It was no accident that Toyota chose California as a launch location for the 2010 Prius; after all, it's 'ground zero' in the US environmental movement, which includes the most arduous emissions regulations within North America.

The new Prius is the third generation of Toyota's mid-size hybrid-powered vehicle that essentially spurred the hybrid craze back in 2000. Since then, 1.7 million Prius hybrids have been sold globally to folks wishing to make a positive environmental statement or simply seeking the best return on their gasoline dollar.

Toyota has rated the 2010 Prius at an astounding 3.8 L/100 km of combined highway and city driving, and I can tell you this: a number of journalists surpassed that figure while exploring California's wine country.

Good article. Thanks.
It's awesome to read about all of the new features.
Good video. He says we have to wait until June though. (previously, I thought it was estimated to be here in April) At least we know now. June. cool.
In the video, he tosses the key fob in a compartment. Ummm. It might be a good idea to keep that in your pocket at all times.

(it will bring an end to car thefts and keys locked in the car. Car jackers won't be going anywhere after you jump out)
