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.

A public experiment that was better in theory than in practice: "In the end, the restrooms, installed in early 2004, had become so filthy, so overrun with drug abusers and prostitutes, that although use was free of charge, even some of the city’s most destitute people refused to step inside them."

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.
