    it’s a sad day in Wisconsin, I have been eyeing a cheap and new Prius v several states away to replace the craft mobile.

    I wanted myself and any potential passengers to take a test drive in a local new Prius v at the single local Toyota dealer to see if space and seat comfort were acceptable to all involved.

    And low and behold, the local Toyo had a single Gen IV on the lot, no v’s , no c’s nothing used.

    Where the Prius row was were lines of trucks and minivan like vehicles.
    The lot has hundreds of vehicles mind you.

    Add insult to injury I couldn’t test drive the single 2017 liftback on the lot because it was up the little mini hill thing.

    Ah well, who would have thought there would be a Toyota dealer without a Prius?

    It looks like dealers are selling the last of the Prius v. I checked my preferred dealer that sold my son his Prius v and I checked my local dealer. Neither list any new Prius v.
    Plenty of RAV4 hybrids though.

    Honestly, Prius v's are almost special order here because trucks.

    That is, unless you want a white one (which is easy to spray into a taxi colour lol)

    ...and add to that the $3,000-$4,000 bump over MSRP back then.
