    On the teaser site they have at The 3rd Generation Prius I read that one of the safety systems includes a radar system to detect accidents before they happen.

    Oh man... That got me so excited.

    The car comes equipped with a radar jammer. OMG.... That would be so fun.

    Also, does anyone think we'll really feel a 20 HP increase over the net power on the MkII Prius? I have a feeling that with better materials they could have increased overall performance without boosting horsepower; it is, however, very good that they're beefing up the electrical system.

    AUTO UP-DOWN ON ALL WINDOWS!!! If I had just waited, I wouldn't have had to build my own new Prius. Wait a second; wasn't that one of my suggestions? :p And I hope it has smart door handles all around; too -- now that we've got a child to carry around, I'm tired of touching the front door handle while holding up a 25 pound car seat / baby assembly.

    It needs a built-in booster seat that won't be recalled like Volvo's were :p

    A whole new meaning for "stealth" mode for 2010.

    How could they choose not to put smart door handles all the way around?

    Also I feel angry that they built-in remote AC start. I had to redesign that feature three times before I got it to work right on my 06, and even then I had to leave one nano-itx PC running all the time with conrol over one sacrificed keyfob just to accomplish this. :(
