    The 2010 Toyota Prius has gradually been emerging into public view since January, when it was launched at the Detroit Auto Show.

    Based on media previews and invitation-only Prius Connection events in Detroit, New York, and other venues, quite a lot of info is now available. One set of impressions comes from our colleague Marty Padgett (himself the owner of a 2004 Toyota Prius), who attended a press event last month in swanky Napa Valley, California.

    Among Marty's first impressions: The 2010 Toyota Prius is capable of 70 miles per gallon if driven carefully. Its fuel economy is ranked at a combined 50 mpg (51 city / 48 highway), but in a competition among journalists, Marty and his codriver easily knocked out 69.5 mpg.
