    We call ours "PRECIOUS". :)

    Trivia: If you take the letters that make up "PRIUS" from the word "PRECIOUS", you are left with "ECO".

    Hmmmmm..... works for me! :rockon:

    I just call mine "Ecobox". All of my friends ask me, "Are you bringing that ecobox, or another car tonight?" lol...


    I think the Toyota Ecobox has a WINNING potential. lol

    This is an EcoBox. The Prius is a mid sized sedan that happens to get tremendous fuel economy. It is not an EcoBox.

    My new Prius is named 'Vera' because she keeps me from veering into the other lane with the AT package.

    I used to have a Previa and know what that name meant ("Before it's time" or something close.) What does Prius mean, anyway? I'm assuming it's something close to Previa.

    You're almost there. How about the Priapus? Anyway, if Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr. can rename himself Snoop Doggy Dogg, then we can rename the Prius.

    Since Ford & Dodge has a habit of naming vehicles after animals

    How about the:

    Toyota Platypus
    Toyota Armadillo
    Toyota Axolotl
    Toyota Alpaca
    Toyota Wallaby
    Toyota Pangolin
    Toyota Aardvark
    Toyota Manatee

    And since it's a hybrid, how about

    Toyota Liger
    Toyota Tigon
    Toyota Zorse
    Toyota Zebu

    Also:
    Toyota Chimera

    And finally

    Toyota Chupacabra
