Things Overheard at the 2010 Prius Detroit Event

You apparently did overhear it, but you didn't hear it quite right. I asked her to move into the picture.

 

Large breasts....2010 Prius......Large breasts....2010 Prius...OH,i'm so confused,i don't need a distraction like a....2010 Prius!!

 

Hey guys... this is a 'family' site.

 

I don't know about you but "Large Breasts" gets me to thinking about making a family.

 

...and then 9 months on using that same "Large Breasts" for feeding....

 

One thing that stands out as unique for this group, is that we were invited to disassemble the cars...


....and we tried!

and the response, "There were models?" was heard amongst the attendees. An amazing number of people randomly polled did not see the lovely ladies. Most, however, could accurately describe the changes made to the engine configuration.

 

Tony ruined my game when he whipped out the "Justin-sized" model car and the hostess laughed. <cries>

I heard something about lap dances but I was in my room eating a full rack of ribs and being lonely. bleh

 

"I hope my wife/husband doesn't see this photo..."

I came in here hoping to find that someone overheard some juicy tidbits like when a plug in would be coming.

Instead, what do I find? A discussion about boobs .... booo

 

"Anyone want my cherry?", said, of course, in the context of a bar.

I think some of us (me included) are still in shock from the experience. When we first got to the reveal, I was so focused on the cars and experience and talking to real Toyota people, I didn't notice much of anything else. It was only after about 2 hours that I realized that they had this tremendous food spread and the drinks availavble. I thought the models and the food was brought in at the very end, but MikeS told me that they were there from the begining.

Give us all a few days to get back to normal and we should be able to anwer some questions.

 

I was able to ask the chief engineer if the PHEV was his next project. He shook his head up and down and said "yes" very firmly. Howerer, there was a langurage barrier and he may have thought that I was asking him something else so no guarantee here.

 

I forgot to eat at the reveal. I knew there was food, but then I just simply forgot. Between looking at the cars, the models, talking to Toyota staff, and being interviewed on camera, the food table dropped off my radar. By the time we got back to the hotel, drinking dinner sounded like a better idea.

i most fondly remember efusco yelling at DH to get back under the car so he could get a picture.

oh, and DH telling the chief engineer that he loved taking apart his cars. (he then proceeded to explain that he is a former hybrid tech!)

 

So ... how 'bout those headlights??
