If true, it is not good news for me! What will my '04 be worth by then. And I really don't want to buy another Prius that would be so like the one I have. (Actually, that's my wife talking!)

I'm not going to say anything...I'm not going to say anything...

Oh, what the heck. THEY'RE GUESSING!! They have no clue what will actually happen. A previously posted -guess- is the 2008 model will be plug-in.

So get on the bandwagon, and make your own guess as to which (if any) of the two guess' is correct.

Actually, i heard it was the 2009 MY (released in late 2008, which is why many people say 2008)...

If that's truly the future for Toyota it can be described in one word, boring. Maybe they are going to give Honda and Nissan a chance to catch up?

I would like to think that's not true. There was an article somewhere in the past indicating that Toyota has ten (10!) hybrid models currently running around in Japan. With just three models (unless we can count Lexus) currently available in the US the growth of Toyota does not hinge on the Prius.

Oh, and personally, I agree with Marjam.

It will be an 09 model.

Your 2004 Prius will hold its value longer because, until 2010, there (apparently) isn't going to be a newer, better, more advanced Prius to make your 2004 seem relatively obsolete.

AUGUST 2009 - marjam talking to a prospective buyer: "You want to buy a gas conserving car? There aren't many newer car models which can beat my 2004 Prius. For only $24,000, you can start saving on that $8.75 per gallon gas today! And the hybrid battery is still under warranty."

Thanks,

I feel better now!

Doesn't look like a very reliable site to me. Problem with the internet is anybody can post anything. Seems to me the reports of model year 2009 are more substantial.
