they will sell near 500k a year and with it being 30k, toyota will be tops for a while

Why do all of these Fuel efficient cars have to look like A$$? If chevrolet made a 160hp camaro looking car that got 50 mpg's, i would probably buy it right now, actually i'd get two... the super efficient camaro, and a [RS, Z/28, SS, ZL-1] top dog...

Key word is MAY

And it doesn't matter what your MPG's are.. if your driving a prius, you look like an idiot.

I agree.
They look horrible and I really don't know what kinda of people drive them. A possible 94 MPG is not enough incentive to make me look like a fool (nor was I going to buy one).

OK the current Prius is rated at how many MPG? does it actually get that HELL NO!!!! it is so over rated it isn't funny!!! give me an Aveo over this hunk of junk and call it a day... #1 the Aveo actually LOOKS good and it does really get the rated 35-40 MPG average (my g/f has one)... if Toyota wouldn't be so damn dishonest with their marketing i might actually respect more of their cars than just the Tundra...

The Tundra??? ROFL that POS is the biggest joke out right now. They are having so many problems with those they are actually buying some of them back from their owners for 150% book value.

If this is true, they will have beat the TDI VW's in fuel mileage. Now I can no longer say that there is no point in buying a Prius! Now there is very little reason too....

Yes they are. The frame rust problem is so bad that if someone takes one to a dealer and they inspect it and decide it is bad enough they are buying them back at 150% of excellent condition blue book.
