2010
Third Gen Prius for $20,750
The new third generation Hybrid Synergy Drive is going
to enable the 2010
Toyota Prius to achieve better fuel economy and
better performance than the current Prius and all in a
bit larger package. Likewise, it will offer a number
of new, advanced electronic features. Thus, many have
assumed the price of the new Prius will increase
significantly.
But, what if it costs the same as the current Prius,
at least at the base model?
The rumors
coming out of Japan indicate that, at least for the
Japanese market, the Prius will not be as expensive as
originally thought. Since Toyota will continue the 2nd
generation Prius, at pricing similar to the Honda
Insight, is it unreasonable to assume that Toyota
might try to match current Prius pricing with its new
Prius?
We'll find out for sure quite soon, however, if true I
think the sluggish hybrid sales chatter filling the
auto world will quickly subside.
