2010 Toyota Prius:Knowing in advance that the Insight was coming,
Toyota stepped up the makeover for the 2010 Prius, and it's impressive:
There will be a base model likely priced above the current starting price
of around $22,000, but add options, and it seems certain the Prius can top $30,000.
Options include a sunroof with a solar panel that doesn't generate electricity for running the car, but for running fans inside the car that can keep the interior cooler while the Prius is parked in the sun. There's also the "park assist" feature offered on Lexus modelsthat can actually parallel-park the Prius on its own, with the driver's hands literally off the steering wheel.Add those two features to leather upholstery and a navigation system, and the Prius becomes almost a luxury hybrid.
2010 Toyota Prius cars is aimed carefully at their target markets, and 2010 Toyota Prius score direct hits. One of these is likely to be the 2010 car of the year.
