    Ah yes ... My beautiful new 2010 Prius V ... But next year I understand you will be called the Prius model five (or will it be 5?) because the new Prius van (or is it an MPV?) will be called the Prius V. What do I call you then?

    All of this is "tongue in cheek" ... A rose by any other name ...

    Still this is poor planning on the part of Toyota. In 2010 a Prius V is the model with LED headlamps and 17" wheels and (in my case) the Advanced Technology Package. In 2011 (or is it 2012?) the Prius V will instead be the new Prius van. I'm so confused. :confused:

    When the 5 comes out there will probably have models too... So you could have a 5 model II. ;)

    How about . . . Prius V sedan 5 door and Prius V Van ? Somewhere I read that they are going to have a Prius V Coupe 3 door.
    Sound good to me....

    I looked up my 2010 V on Kelly BB and their is no distinction between models. So mine will be just the Prius with different wheels.
