15 meg, hmm can you break it into smaller chuncks (part 1 of 3, 2 of etc) then could use Google docs & spreadsheets then link to it (them)

wouldn't i need the real acrobat program to break it into pieces? or i would have to
reprint it and then rescan it, as i threw away the originals, i could also break it
into smaller files using winrar, but free file hosting services are easier

I doubt the 2009 Prius would get a new petrol engine so late into its life, when all focus for Toyota engineers will be on the 2010 model. The only press I've seen in the UK mentions the 1.8L lean-burn engine with 100bhp and the new body.

Plus I read here that production of the Prius III will be in Mississippi for the American market only.

Dang, if they feel some 'need' to put it in the car I REALLY hope the 1.8 will be an OPTION. I would rather they increase the MPG in the current system (via electric range or whatever) than increase ICE power. From 110 HP to 160ish HP? Give me a BREAK, why would we need a nearly 50% increase??!! The car is just fine as is. Almost EVERY car on the road today is seriously over powered. And DON'T make it "If you want this feature or that feature, you HAVE to have the 1.8L".

Last weeks survey seemed to have narrowed the choices down to a standard 6" navigation system and an 8" premium system with emphasis on initial installation cost for each system and on-going annual service fees for the "available" traffic monitoring and On-Star type features.

Again, make it a SELECTABLE option, not a PACKAGE option. I'd like to see updated NAV DVDs at a REASONABLE price with info on WHAT areas changed so you could decide if it was worth your $50 (OR LESS). *I* am NOT interested in an annual service fee Nav system. OnStar 'Navigation' is akin to GMs 'mild hybrid' design. Not exactly stellar function.
