MMMMmmmm! Must be package V. . . . . . . fog lights. Ok Toyota, were WAITING. Still no place to sign up. Still no one to even talk to about ordering. (sigh). Enough with the torment already!

We just love tormenting you guys.

Probably during the first year of the demonstration program, all the vehicles will be tied up doing the technical and consumer research. Some media will get their opportunity too.

After that point, I HOPE**** that we can start getting some other people in the cars. Trust me, if and when there is a time to sign up, you'll know it.

I'll bet anybody, any sum of money (well, up to 50 cents), that it will be generally available here in the U.S. about the time the Chevy Volt is available.

I will be really surprised if the U.S. Prius plug-in deliveries aren't available before the Volt.

From a marketing standpoint, I would see it as a brilliant move on Toyota's part to want to steal the spotlight away from the Volt at the right timing. Much like Apple released the 3GS the day after Palm released the Pre. haha. excellent timing. As GM hypes up the Volt release date, Toyota should run a commercial saying "The Plug In Prius is Here!!! Test Drive one at your local dealer right now!"
Meanwhile GM says "it's on the cargo ships, on the trains, in transit. really, we swear it is!" haha.

Please put me up high on the list. Will the plug in version require a special outlet or will any grounded GFI work?

Which year ?
