2011 Prius out?

Liar, liar, brakes on fire. Expect to see a 2011 in Sept. or Oct.

 

Mind you, the only differences I expect on the 2011 is new color choices.

 

There's no reason to expect new color choices if they're selling well.

 

The vultures will use any tactic to get fresh meat into their showroom.
You could have said 2012 model in? She would have said yes.

 

This has been discussed to death. Do a search, and you'll find a link to a Toyota document I posted a few times, that says initial production month September, first dealer deliveries Oct/Nov.

 

Probably another price increase, maybe some change in packages.

I assume that Prius team knows but it seems that we never hear from them anymore.

 

Fall is what I was told

 

Amen to that

 

Still hoping for a coupe

 

What are the new packages? Can we get the 17" wheels, turning radii, & drive motors of the 5 in a 3? Have they changed the mid consel to free up that space? Bigger front roll bar for a sportier feel? How about a cold weather Prri with heated leather and use the solar power to run a engine block and climate heaters? Now thats the package I want.

 

That's quite an amazing dealer that has a 2011 Prius on the lot before Toyota has started producing them.

Changes I would like to see on the 2011:

1.Persistent power mode - I only drive in power mode, so why should I have to select it every time I turn the car on?
2. Better color choice - I could stand only 2 colors in the 2010 - Red and Black. We need more choice. (I chose red)
3. Better FM radio - would it be cynical of me to suggest that the low quality of the FM radio is somehow related to the need to buy a subscription to the much better Sat radio?
4. Update the towns list in the nav. Long Island has hundreds of different towns that overlap. Sometimes the residents aren't sure what town they live in. I looked for an address in Dix Hills, and finally found out that the Nav considers it to be in Huntington Station.

By the way, I know immediately if I forget to select power mode just by the sluggish feel of the acceleration.

 

Toyota should maintain thier lead by producing the PHEV now, for 2011!

 

I was also told yesterday that there might be a couple of 2011 Priuses on the lot--the Camrys came out a month ago and the Corollas and Yarises will be hear in a month or two. How much of THAT is true?
Oh yeah, and no changes on the 2011 Priuses.

 

I have seen some deep blue models that weren't available in the 2010 catalog.
