    Is this car a 2009? The headlights/lamps have a noticable upwards bulge.
    Or is this a feature of the Euro models?

    Nah, that's the same 2G we saw in some video out of Japan a year or so ago.

    there are 40 charging stations, but no mention about where you buy hydrogen, especially during a 500+ mile trip. Is H2 available widely in the UK?

    Neat! I'd love to see this up close and personal.

    Of course, it may be the first Toyota made PHEV in the UK - but certainly not the first! I drove a PHEV about two years ago and am converting my Prius right now!

    No. I wouldn't know a Hyrdrogen fill up if I tripped over it. I think California must be well ahead of what they are contemplating here, but I would still like one :)

    Evan,

    I think that we may both be right on this. Perhaps it was first seen in
    ads and such a year ago, but...

    Today in my parking garage, I saw a silver Prius with temp tags that said it
    was a 2009. I looked at the headlights/lamps and they did have an upward
    bulge, maybe 1/2-3/4 of an inch, sort of a "huntched shoulder" look, not
    blending really smoothly with the hood from side to side.
    [Edit] Kind of like the car is wearing an uplift bra!

    I can't see Toyota doing new lights for just one year, 2009.
    I wonder if these lights are a preview of the 2010 PHEV?

    the lights are pretty standard, i have the same on my 2007 Prius...
