    My sister named mine Marshmallow, her 2010 is named Audrey. I have called mine Marshmallow and Pri Pri (I say it like Prius without the -us, so it's not i as in "I"). I refer to it as the Pri Pri or Marshmallow.

    Prius.

    I don't name any of my other appliances either. I just say "the JVC DVR" or "the Panasonic DVR" or "the fridge".

    Simply, " The Prius". Seeing, as it won't come to me by calling it, it doesn't need a name.

    Well, I want to call our Prius "Toy", but my wife is undecided yet, and it is her car. I will continue to call it "Toy" as it truly is a fun one! We usually name all the cars. Our classic 69 Buick Skylark Custom Conv. was named "Valentine" as it is red with a white conv. top. But when i restored it, i had to drop the motor's compression down from the stock 10.5:1 to 9:1 so it would not ping, and due to lower octane gasoline that is now the main stay. (91 octane premium, instead of 95-97 back in the day). To make up for the loss of compression, I put on performance headers, dual 3" exhaust, mild cam, new bigger Q jet carb, and too many other improvements to list. When Valentine was all done, She,, became a HE and morphed into "Valentino", as that car now surly has a set, and truly lives up to its "muscle car" name! Alas,, my 05 Chevy Silverado 4x4 truck,,, is still, just "Truck"... I wanted "whitie" as it is white, but my wife thinks thats racist,:eek: and said NO! :)

    Uh, I believe Toyota already named the vehicle, as evidenced by all the "PRIUS" nameplates, labels, and decals located all over the vehicle. ;)

    What you say is undoubtedly correct, but bearing in mind its popularity and the number of Prii already sold since its introduction, that might lead to total confusion. :eek: - Wil

    What? A "name" can only be used ONCE?

    Williams and Johns of the world are in for a BIG surprise (wink,wink)!
