Portland Car Dealer: Toyota Introduces Additions to the Prius Family at the New York Auto Show
Continuing with a commitment to develop innovative future vehicles, Toyota has is releasing new additions to the Prius family. Last week’s New York Auto Show set the stage for a reveal of the crossover Prius V and a tri-engine electric plug-in version. As reported in a recent New Jersey Newsroom, each vehicle will compete in different car segments.
The Prius V will be one of the newest additions to the crossover segment and is set to compete with the likes of the Honda Crosstour and Nissan Murano. The roomier Prius V achieves only slightly less gas mileage than the original, with an estimated EPA rating of 42 MPG city and 38 MPH highway. This is an impressive feat for a full-sized family ride. Other features include folding second row seats and an Entune multimedia entertainment system.
Competing in an entirely different niche is the Prius Plug-In Electric vehicle. So far, 160 “test” vehicles are already on the road. The new plug-in goes a step further than the original Prius, allowing the driver to use a third power system. The addition of the third has already proved useful in increasing mileage between power-ups.
We can’t wait to see the latest Prius models hitting the pavement early next year.

The Toyota Ideas For Good campaign has attracted thousands of entries, and now comes the hard part. A panel of independent judges will narrow down the submissions to 25 finalists, and all indications suggest they have their work cut out for them.
Toyota asked contestants to submit ideas for how they would use Prius technology to make a better world. Members of the public are encouraged by the advertising campaign to find new, non-automotive applications for five distinct Toyota technologies to ultimately benefit society. One winner in each of the five technology categories will witness their idea spring into reality. Winners will be determined by a formula based on input from the Toyota panel of gurus and the general public. Additionally, winners will receive their pick of a new Prius, Venza or Highlander Hybrid as a prize.

Portland Auto Dealer: Toyota Announces Plural Form of Popular Hybrid Prius
It’s official! The plural form of Prius is Prii (pronounced PREE-eye). After asking the public to vote on the plural possibilities through a marketing campaign, Toyota received thousands of votes from across the country. The campaign featured the famous (and famously spoofed) John Lipton as he used his signature style to interview guests ranging from William Shakespeare to a child spelling bee champ. “Prii” received 25% of votes, while the “Prius” came in a close second with 24%.
Here’s the official announcement:

Portland Car Dealer: Toyota’s Plural of Prius Campaign Features the Intriguing James Lipton
Toyota is continuing with their community-centered campaign to find the official plural for Prius with a new spot featuring James Lipton and, none other than, William Shakespeare. Lipton’s passionate and wordy interviewing style has been spoofed in plenty of sketch comedy, probably most famously by Will Ferrell on Saturday Night Live. Here you can see the real man in action as he interviews the wordsmith from the days of yore (or a man pretending to be). There’s still time to vote! The winning word will be announced on Feb. 20th.
