    This story now seemingly confirmed by multiple sources (see links below to verify): the city of Chicago will be acquiring 45 new Prii for its municipal fleet.

    Maybe dealers will one day be able to get their hands on these kinds of numbers for private customers? Maybe? One day? :roll:

    While I applaud the city for it's intent and purpose, I find it appauling that the bid involves a single entry bid.
