    When I ordered my first 2018 Prime Advanced the base MSRP was $33,100 and Freight was $895.
    Now I see the base MSRP is $33,300 and Freight is $920.
    Did I miss an anouncement? Did the other trim levels get an increase as well? I don't have any older
    numbers for those.
    Thanks,
    J

    Across the board, we are seeing the prices go up. That is not unique to Prius.

    That was the impression my salesperson said today. (She's a good friend and happened to stop by.)

    Interesting "news" was that we are supposedly getting the AWD model of Prius here next year.

    Also, the expectation is that Camry will lose the top-seller spot to RAV4 this year.

    that is unfortunate, but a sign of the times.

    I read that too but I believe it's the Prius V.
    I keep a Toyota Venza (now discontinued) in the stable for when AWD is required.

    $200 increase across the board.

    It's not unusual to have price increases. The Prime didn't have a price increase at the start of the 2018 MY so I guess they bumped it up mid-year.

    Yes. It will come with a twin turbo V8 as well.

    Personally, I don't allow vegetable juice in my car, regardless of how many turbos are affixed. Clear liquids and coffee only.
