    Hi folks!

    I've been contacted by Sandy Di Felice, Director of External Affairs regarding several events to be hosted in Canada. Toyota Canada has been mightly impressed with the success of the Prius Connection events across the United States that they have decided that they will host a few events right here in the Great White North!

    I have not been told which cities will host the events nor the dates.

    I have been given authorisation to invite you to the event on her behalf. This way, we'll avoid the "is this a spam" issues that we had with Prius Connection Detroit (since I assume you all have seen my name at least somewhere on this site). I will send your information to her and we'll go from there.

    So if you are interested, PM me with your name, e-mail and phone number (best one to contact you) and I'll forward them to Sandy.

    Thanks!

    Re: Prius Connection Canada

    Was that the lovely Sandi that was at PCD?
    She gave me her card... and her own lapel pin! LOL!! What a sweetie.
    I'd love to see her again!
    However, probably not for this event, as a)I'm not Canadian (darn) and b)I'm pretty booked up for the rest of this year.
    Have a great time! :)

    I would also like to meet Sandi again, what a nice lady as was John (although actually a guy) who gave me a HSD pin!

    That didn't come out right did it?

    Hey, that sounds like fun. All depends on the time and place for me, but I'm definitely interested. Maybe this time Jayman will be able to attend. We could always have an after-party at his place. :cool:

    Invitation from Toyota Canada – An up-close look at the all-new 2010 Prius

    (Note: Details for other cities will be available shortly)

    When most people hear the phrase "Toyota Prius", the unbelievable benefits of the world’s most popular hybrid – the incredible fuel economy, reduced emissions, great performance and versatile cargo space - come to mind. To this, add the peace of mind that comes with knowing you’re doing your part to reduce your environmental footprint, and the knowledge that Prius can make it possible to realize a greener world.

    The Toyota Prius has been on the market in Canada for more than 8 years, and as the world evolves, so must the solutions we bring to it. Toyota engineers and designers have been hard at work over the past few years completely redesigning the Prius… making revolutionary changes from the inside and out. Improving and rethinking every element of this green vehicle.

    Now, the vehicle that changed it all… is changing again. The all-new, 3rd generation 2010 Toyota Prius has just been revealed to the world… but few have had the privilege of exploring this new vehicle up close. We invite you to join us for an exclusive first look at the 2010 Prius, and the incredible technology and innovation that has been built into this car:

    All-new 3rd generation Hybrid Synergy Drive system – the 2010 Prius features a 90 per cent newly developed HSD system.

    More power, less fuel, no compromise – 2010 Prius is 22% more powerful than the current generation Prius and, with an estimated fuel consumption rating of just 3.8L/100km combined city/highway, it’s even greener.

    Prius brings new levels of innovation - Available solar panel moonroof, intelligent park assist and pre-collision system.

    The 2010 Prius is even greener – ecological plastic used to build this vehicle; 4 drive modes to choose from, including EV-Drive Mode for short-distance battery-only operation.

    More versatility, space and safety features than ever before.


    What: Exclusive sneak peek of the 2010 Toyota Prius

    Hi JP and thanks for posting the event!

    I've sent Sandy the list of names that I've collected so far. Is that still needed or should I re-direct those that sign up (or PM me) to the reservation page?

    Edit: I noticed you said PCS in your description. Does that mean ACC/PCS/LKA is coming to Canada? ;)
