    Lots of other great goodies to choose from too (including different versions of that sticker).

    Can we also get stickers that look like this to remind us where the energy for the plug-ins comes from?

    Hey sure. That would be dandy. Thanks for trying to be such a big part of the solution! You may want to include a little note about how electricity does NOT have to come from dirty sources... while gasoline does.

    Here's how the fuel for my EV is made. How is the fuel for your gas car made?

    Maybe another sticker with a shot of the mandatory destruction created by the oil drilling for non-plug-in cars? Oh... how about the fact that our gas cars use as much electricity (just to make the gasoline) as a plug-in car would use....PLUS the gasoline in the tank? That way you could have both of those images on one sticker! Bonus.

    I'd still buy the new Prius regardless of plug-in or not. Though, if it were a plug-in I wouldn't think about it for a second, I'd trade in my current one right away.
    I honestly feel that Toyota has no interest in making the Prius a plug-in, which would be sad, because if Toyota wants to stay the leaders in this movement, they should be ahead of everyone.

    Well, don't feel bad! Toyota most certainly DOES have interest in a PHEV Prius. You probably won't be able to buy it in the US anytime soon, however. Which, of course, is the point of these decals.

    I agree, too many deep pocketed politicians for that to happen just yet. (sucks)

    It is, unfortunately, also just good business for Toyota to NOT offer it just yet. What is best for business is sof often assumed to be what is best for the consumer. NOT.
