Sounds very promising...
Quoted: AutoObserver reports that the next generation Prius will be four inches longer, get a more powerful 1.8 liter gas engine that when combined with electrics will do a total 160 horsepower (compared with 110hp in the current 1.5 liter setup). The kicker is that it'll be more fuel efficient, too. Using Japan's metrics for fuel economy, the current setup gets 84mpg, but the next gen has been reported to run 94 miles under the same conditions. The car is set to be unveiled in 2009.

Do you come out ahead financially by purchasing a hybrid?

For starters, hybrids are holding their value better than non-hybrid cars. This means that, even if you don't recoup the extra cost of the hybrid in gas savings, you're likely to get more money out of the car when you decide to sell it. - mohit - Apr 30 20082 FaversViewed: 37 Times

probably our next car.
We got a Prius a while back but have never been very impressed by the gas mileage -- stuck on 42. This weekend we finally got to 52!
+ warm weather
+ cranked tire pressure way up
+ hit 10,000 miles
+ slowed way down
and that did the trick.
