    This month's Toyota e-bulletin has some timely "information" (some might call it propoganda) regarding hybrid technologies - now and in the future.

    Toyota has apparently confirmed a Prius wagon for 2011 and are aiming for a 50% reduction in HSD cost (according to the news articles over at ToyotaNation).

    have a link?
    a wagon prius might be fairly handy. i wonder if it would be more stable than my 04 prius. at 80k miles i feel i should replace the suspension.



    I only had one "issue" with this article. under series hybrids, they support the technology with the idea of replacing the engine with a more officient engine. i don't see a car companies upgrading your engine for you... not sure why.. just don't see it.
