Just saw bestmapman post this on another forum and had to share it here. It just fits in so well here.

Well, you'll get one of your wishes at least. ABG already reported that the next gen will have a solar panel roof as an option.

I highly doubt they'll be using a turbo on the new Prius though. They already went to a larger engine (1.8L vs 1.5L).

Does anyone know the release date for the PHEV Prius? I've heard September of next year for the 2010 model but then I've heard September of 2010 is actual release date.

Clever. Of course we already know what it will look like, but still.

GLAD TO SEE AN AUTOMAKER PROMOTING GOOD AERO IN ITS MARKETING!

Oops, did I just shout that?
