Congrats! Have you driven these things before?
I drove a first gen Prius as soon as they showed up at the dealer (being upfront with the sales guy on a quiet day that I had zero intention of buying it). EV mode and engine-off coasting on demand, just by wiggling my right foot, hooked me instantly. Hugely fun car to a nerd like me! (I can trace a direct line from that first city block of EV mode in the Prius to Project ForkenSwift.)
I got a chance to meet Orange4boy and see his Prius this winter. Good footsteps to follow.
Looking forward to updates!
