While all Toyota models experienced a price increase, the Prius hike was by far the highest. Of course, if the supply of the Prius can be elevated to better match demand, dealer add-on’s – currently as high as $5000 - could be reduced (dealers are adding fees because of excessive demand.

Toyota has already announced that that it was going to increase production of the Prius by at least 50 percent for 2005. This writer, however, expects demand to far-out-weigh a 50 percent increase in production as well.
