    Does the new Lexus offer any advantage over the 2010 Prius besides luxury?
    I know the mpg will be less.

    Since it's a 4 door sedan with the same engine and MPG as the HyCam, a better question might be how does it compare to the new 2010 Camry going on sale in the US in March. I'm not sure we have enough info yet about the 250h to make comparisons, though. Tideland's comments probably still apply. There is a revised instrument cluster and stereo (and probaboy nav) in the HyCam, but probably does not include HUD or harddrive based stereo or navigation.

    I'm pretty sure not. It's not on sale until the fall.
