    Does anyone have new 2013 Prius ?
    Any difference? I just went to Toyota dealership to order one; they didn't even have pricing information for 2013. I believe the price would be little different.

    I had 2010 Prius three (Blizzard Pearl) leased which I returned.
    I purchased 2010 Prius fout IV (Black) w/Solar SunRoof pkg - which got totaled 2 days ago.

    Just bought 2013 Prius Five (Silver) w/Adv. Tech pkg and also Plus Performance package.
    They said the wait is going to be 6-8 weeks. @_@

    Do people like their PPP on their Prius - does it impact gas mileage much?
    thanks

    I believe the '13's won't come out til November at the earliest. Probably more like December or even January.

    Most people seem to enjoy the PPP very much, however it reduces fuel economy. My estimates put the loss at 2-4mpg depending on your driving habits and conditions. It's not that bad for such an enhancement in appearance.
