Prius at Tampa Auto Show

Went to opening day of Tampa Auto Show yesterday. Unsurprisingly, the show seemed a lot smaller than previous years--fewer brands, fewer cars shown for those brands that did exhibit. There were two Priuses displayed--a model II and a IV. Neither was very well equipped, other than loaded down with worthless Southeast Toyota options like "Toyoguard". But still, my wife had not looked closely at a Prius, and I think she's now convinced she'd like to have one in our garage! The new Lexus hybrid was there, but I don't think she liked the price of the loaded one on display.

There's a Prius in our future!
