I usually don't dabble in celebrity news because, frankly, there's so much of it when it comes to the Prius. But when I saw that Demi Moore had gotten a 2010 Prius for her birthday, I decided to post it for a couple of reasons:

Looks like Toyota's $0.05 solution to fixing the "sudden acceleration" issue with many of their models, including the 2004-2009 Prius, does not quite fly with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)...

I spent 6 hours at the dealer yesterday trying to convince my sister to buy a gen3. She ended up getting a Rav4 instead. Atleast it's a Toyota.

Drove to downtown Buffalo to the Buffalo Transportation Museum, then to the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Darwin Martin House for a tour. Mid November and mid 60's in temperature....unreal for Buffalo!

PriusChat Who wants an Outback or RAV4-sized Prius?

Would you like fries with that? Some pretty reputable news sources are running with a story that Toyota will be releasing a super-sized Prius by the end of 2010. The Prius XL will be in the form of a wagon or small SUV - probably similar to the size of

PriusChat Did you or a friend buy one of the 13,000+ Prius sold in October?

PriusChat More Prius Coupe and MPV rumors swirling. Would you want either?

Source: priuschat.com
Ready for some rumors? Like, totally unsubstantiated rumors? Here you go. The latest rumor this week is that Toyota is not only planning the Prius Coupe that PriusChat has been reporting for about 7 months now, but you can add a MPV (like a mini-minivan)...

I really hope they don't go ruining the MR2 heritage with something that isn't mid-engine, rear wheel drive, and a two seater.

Other than that, pretty excited to see what they come up with.
