    Gotta wonder why the renderings always have 20" wheels, rolling on rubberbands, such that the first pothole would blow a tire.

    Tell me about it, especially living in NYC...

    Me and my friend hope they use projector style HID's in the new lenses but it's looking doubtful from some of the spy photos. What he'd really like to see as would I but it wo't happen is for them to use a bunch of 5 watt LED's in the front bumper with small projectors for focusing. The prius is supposed to be their tech car so why not go with new technologies in it? I know, solar panels etc are new but why stop there, use new tech for existing stuff as well.

    when there is a model 2010 in april 2009 it wil not be the plugin version
    and maybe even a 2008-2009 with small changes
    i think the real deal is going to be in 2010-2011

    OR toyota is faking it ( all the fleet plugins and stuff out for 2010-2011 ) and is going to bring a all new model in 2009.
