But I believe it would be much better if they could come up with an electric Prius rather than just a plug-in type. I believe that an electric is better in saving up fuel as compared to hypermiling our hybrid cars.

But they are dragging their feet on the Plug in option. I guess I might as well go ahead and get Luscious Garage to install a Hymotion Plugin kit in the old Prius. But I’m happy to put $500 on the table for Toyota to come and get it when they choose to make the car America needs. I’ve been wanting a plug in hybrid since Popular Science explained it in 1976… And I hate sending money to Al Quaeda sympathizers by buying gas.

They are still taking deposits (as of 09/06/08) where I live so just because Magnussen stopped doesn’t mean all dealers have. We’ll be one of the first to plug in when they arrive!

A. works well
B. Is conservatively “over” engineered
C. Will deliver on what is promised

If it is a “batteried up hybrid”, so be it. That is exactly what is needed at this point in the market to keep forward momentum and keep these cars in an affordable range.

They want to TEST the cars to see how well they perform and, presumably, fix any problems that crop up.

I’d rather have a working car than, say, a situation like GM’s notorious “X-car” program (Chevy Citation, et al)

Just listen to what their company president has said. Even when it does come, it won’t be revolutionary, just an up batteried hybrid, not an actual electric or extended range electric car. I would say get a city zenn or a Volt. (I want to see what car they put the eestor drive in to. I am looking forward to it.)

What was the dealer doing with the money anyway? Investing it? (right…) I’m sure the dealer will keep the names and numbers to call when real plug ins come in.
