    Toyota's "Prius Team" was nice kind petty mean enough to post this message last night along with the above photo in the PriusChat Forums:
    Oh yes we did take that Plug-In demo unit to lunch today! How jealous are you? Erica Gartsbeyn Prius Product Marketing, Toyota USA​
    We're looking forward to hearing more about the PHV demo program from our friends at Toyota. Oh, and if you guys ever need company at lunch, let me know. I'll be on the first plane out to SoCal.

    Looks great. Perhaps the Hybrid X will be even better?

    No. I think a dope-slap is desperately needed.

    Drool? No. :confused:

    Mad enough to spit? Yes. :mad:

    This kind of flagrant "Look what I got, and youuu don't. Naa Naa Naaa!"
    teasing is beyond juvenile.; it is cheap and demeaning. :nono:

    Grow up. Get serious. Offer the car for a week or so to a PRIUSchat
    member close to where you are so we can get a "man on the street,"
    corporate-line neutral report. :rockon:

    I'm guessing you'd like to see pics of the Li-Ionpack in the actual trunk of the car like I would, but did you see the 2 on this page Joe?

    Out of curiosity, and ignorance, do plug-ins come with some kind of power supply/extension cord as an accessory???

    The Google English-language translation of the photo captions indicates the price will be 525 million yen. Really hope that is untrue, as that amounts to US$5.7 million... :eek:

    I'd like to know what size tires are used, and I assume they are run-flat - since there apparently is no room for a spare tire?

    Re: No. I think a dope-slap is desperately needed.


    unlike rokeby ... I'm fine with it. I love Toyota no matter what they do. I love you guys. Your're great. butkiss butkiss ... now that we've done good cop bad cop ... can I drive it? Pleeeeez?
    :pray:

    Man . . . I knew Doug was evil . . . but Erica? She must have gone to the dark side.
    Ok you guys . . . next time you go to lunch . . . remember I'm only 45 minutes away, ok? I'm buying . . . and I'll throw in a couple disney passes. Would you like to stop by and recharge off my solar? Think about what great publicity it'd be! Ok, I have to to go wash the poo taste out of my mouth now.

    Now, to make the Prius Team turn green (oh! I made a double meaning!) consider the Detroit auto show:

    http://www.caradvice.com.au/53002/chinas-byd-e6-ev-unveiled-in-detroit-will-begin-us-sales-late-2010/

    So! Erica & Doug . . .who will get to market first ... hmmm? Buahahahahahahaaaaaa.

    ;)

    Awesome. Looks like a few of the pictures were from the Toyota Mega Web, if I'm not mistaken...
