Probably not since I have a 2003 Prius I use for commuting and we bought a new, 1.8L Prius in May 2009 for my wife. We're pretty well set as far as Prius are concerned.

I'm 61 years old which means our 1.8L Prius will be paid off and in good shape when I have to take retirement.

The nice thing is Ecomodder is the place to 'build your own' and demonstrate that it works. This place is awesome when you find someone posting with 'dirty fingernails.' <GRINS> . . . and a few of us still have an old slide ruler.
