    If you notice the date that article was posted was April 1st. I'm sure that has something to do with the article. :eek:

    But the silly thing is it would probably sell for those exact reasons stated in the article!

    Given the aerodynamic design it has, imagine how that sucker would fly.

    I'm totally against Toyota doing it but I'd love to see an individual do it on their own. Maybe a hemi with a turbo charger popping through the hood.

    Still, a waste of good gas.

    id did not fall for this one, i presumed article was April's fools joke.

    i do not think that Toyota would tar their reputation by putting a V6 engine with not so great mileage in a prius.
    I am not even sure that it would fit in engine compartment.

    Of course its a joke but the highway mpg would not be so bad. The city mpg would suck though.
