    I hope (and assume) it's going to be at the New York International Auto Show which starts this Friday, April 22.

    Tom, the answer is yes but you won't be able to touch it or sit in it.

    Jeez, that's ridiculous. To me, if Toyota won't let me touch and sit in it, they shouldn't even bring it to the show.

    Sitting both in the V and a standard prius side by side I didn't notice anymore room in the V even with the front seats positioned the same in each.

    I have updated the main story page again with the latest information that I received from Toyota this morning. Things are still fairly fluid, so dates/locations could still change.

    Just in case Toyota cares where this purchaser will be spending his time waiting to see the Prius v:

    Arizona (Phoenix area) - Nearly all of us "snow birds" have left for cooler climes. We plan to leave around the first of May. In other words, if it isn't brought to Arizona by 5/2, then we'll miss it.

    Colorado (Denver area) - We'll be there from about 5/5 on through the summer. We would appreciate a look at it there (and so would some of our relatives).

    I just don't "get" why Toyota is going to small markets like Boise and skipping huge markets full of retirees like Phoenix and Houston.

    Chicago is in two days, and Cleveland after that. Are the locations known yet?

    Why no south?

    There are tons of Prii in Atlanta and Florida is literally crawling with them.

    Are there any plans for the northeast ? I live outside of Philly and would love to see it. The weather is just fine and there are no blizzards in the forecast.:}

    Prius v wagon? I like the sound of that!

    Perhaps we can nickname it the vw! :D
