    So I bought a new keyfob battery at the place where I bought my 2010 Gen III. I asked one of the guys in the back room when the new Priuses would be in and he said he didn't know there was a new Prius coming. So I went to the sales floor, where two folks could only tell me that the sales brouchures for Gen IV might be in by late Dec., early Jan. Couldn't say when the cars might be here.
    They didn't even say "We have great close out deals on the 2015s now."

    What's going on here?

    Looking at the Toyota site, right now you can order 16'..... V's and C's, the hatchback and plugin aren't in the lineup yet, right, the dealer......

    It sounds like there isn't an official release date yet? Odd

    You're in Arkansas bubba'. :p

    Seriously, I'd get the same reaction here at my truck country Toyota dealer. I also get more corporate emails about Tundra deals than anything else.

    I'm sure they will be happy to "take your order". I believe they have pricing. ;)

    What's odd is that they didn't even suggest that. You would think a group interested in selling would . . .

    not many dealers are interested in selling alt fuel vehicles.

    That's true, but there are enough Gen IIIs here for me to know its a significant part of their business.

    sadly, this is true, especially with the current state of gas prices.

    The Prius Four Touring ($30,835) combines that with the sportier configuration.
    The top end for a 2016 Prius Four Touring, optioned up with the Premium Convenience Package (JBL premium audio, Safety Connect concierge and emergency services, upgraded infotainment with apps, and Intelligent Clearance Sonar with Parking Assist) adds up to $32,595.

    PCP = $1760 on the 4T

    1935 could be right but there is nothing from the manufacturer that confirms that yet

    Anyway, the Prius isn't an "alt fuel vehicle". It burns gasoline.
