2010 Prius Price To Be Announced on Earth Day, April 22?

Toyota's Prius Team has created an Easter Egg hunt of their own on PriusChat. In response to a thread theorizing that pricing would be announced at the New York Auto Show between April 10-19, Doug Coleman, Prius Product Manager for Toyota, replied:

It's either April 15th or April 22nd, but my first guess was the 15th so I'll stick with it.

Either way, I was hoping we would have the cars on Earth day when I originally ordered last September... May will have to do Lol

sorry, but not much speculation here...

any other day would not make any sense. Earth Day is simply right, elegant and appropriate.

I am all for pricing on Earth Day. That would be awesome and some good publicity for Toyota.

ScarGo · 04-07-2009, 01:45 PM

OK tomorrow April 8th.

Are you implying that Arbor Day isn't almost equally appropriate? Or maybe Administrative Professionals day? Oh wait, that's the same as Earth Day.... What about Tax Day, or Easter? Or my favorite, Eggs Benedict Day. Um, yeah, go look it up. In the end, you must realize the only right, elegant, and appropriate day is Cinco de Mayo!

Anyway, who said anything about making sense? Not us

So it will be April 16th!

fredthepostman · 04-07-2009, 03:42 PM

I also said the 15th and Toyota did say mid-April. Plus,the 15th is during the auto show and it would be nice to announce the price during the show.

I only hope it's sooner then later.

OK. I'll go with Earth Day, April 22, 2009, so long as it is followed, one week later, on the Feast of St. Catherine of Siena, with the announcement of the introduction of the 2010 Sienna Hybrid.

Makes sense, Non?

ah well, equality is a word oft used nearly as much as it is impossible to obtain. even our children we do not love exactly equally even though we be caught dead first before admitting that...

now i could get a Pri because i want to save the world!! (ok, so i watch "Heroes") but i dont have that grand an ambition. i drive a Pri and an EV because they use less resources and i want to save some of those resources for my kids. i want them to live in a world that is not fraught with disease and new microbes that only flourish when the CO2 is at 1500 PPM or higher.
