    Tell her Prius Five > CT200H :p

    Isn't a CT200H a Corolla based car or is that sumthin else?

    I didn't see any car hauler trains running thru today. Ah what's a few more days? Just more time to dream...

    You are thinking of the HS hybrid by Lexus. It looks like a upscale Corolla. The CT is the more sporty one. Check out the Lexus site and see what you think.

    The Prius with PPP I probably like better but I'll tell ya the Lexus inside is much much nicer than the Prius. Just much better put together. But for me I'll take my Prius. The Lexus is hers. :)

    I am back and it's better than I expected. I got some pictures but thy didn't tun out to good and it was REALLY dirty I guess from its long trip from Japan. It looked awesome though. The dark wheels looked great with the BP paint. I'm sure it will look even better when it's clean!!

    I like seeing the rim protectors molded into the tire sidewalls. My Ion RL has those and I was hoping the Prius would have them also. They will save a wheel on those surprise potholes that seem to pop out of nowhere. Looks like the car is a fair bit lower than a regular Prius. Have to wait for pic's from the side and so forth when you get to it. Bet you hated having to leave it there :( My day is coming up real soon. Now go get your Blizzard Brigade number assigned :p

    It is lower by a fair amount than a regular Prius. It was sitting next to another that came off the same truck and you could definately tell immediately that it was different. I really liked the look.
