    This should be good. Brian Vickers drives the Red Bull Toyota in the Sprint Cup series, so at least he should be "pro-Toyota" in his assessment (if he wants to keep his current job, that is!). Not sure how impartial that will make this, though.

    Maybe it's time for a hybrid NASCAR series! After all, the Prius did about 137 at the Bonneville salt flats...

    Yup, only needs another 100 MPH to qualify. ;)

    I would love to see a Prius 1000 Mile road race, the winner would be the one with the lowest gas consumption. Any takers?

    How about a new racing league, the winner would be by how far on one tank of fuel.?

    Totally going to watch. Not to mention, Tommy Kendall does a great job in his review. I remember watching his review on the IS-F, and it was an untraditional way of reviewing. I wonder what exciting ways he's going to demonstrate and review the New Prius.

    If Tommy don't like it it's not going to be on the show.
    They don't do all new cars just the ones that count (In their view.).

    This is on tonight (10:30 EDT) and should be well worth watching. Two very talented professional race drivers will put the new Prius through its paces and find its limits and capabilities. I have seen Tommy Kendall test other cars, he is very objective and I think will treat the Prius fairly, we'll see. Don't miss it!

    Saw the rough cut yesterday. It's a great review of Prius, and very funny at the same time (love that Carolla!).

    Hope everyone enjoys!

    Great show! They told alot of the details of the car and had fun along the way. It looked like every Prius had tinted windows too. Saved on my DVR. :)

    It is fun, a lot of positive comment from the reviewers. I was surprise the guy said the Prius is sporty.

    Definitely, the show serve good for promotional purpose.

    I saw the tinted window too, and it really look good on the silver, make me wonder should I tint my Prius too.

    I agree, I have silver on order and I will get tint. I thought the program was very refreshing, not an all out track test but still informative. It was obvious they liked the cars and had a good time with them.
