According to the Nikkei newspaper in Japan, Toyota is expecting to take 40,000 preorders in Japan for its new 2010 Toyota Prius hybrid, which will be available to consumers in May. Toyota recently set the starting price for the new 2010 model at 2.05 million yen, about $20,750 US dollars. However, US pricing has yet to be announced.
The 2010 Prius boasts a sweet interior, with a futuristic dash and a Lithium Ion battery pack, which is half the size of the existing pack and comes with two or three times the power.
Autobloggreen reports that Toyota sold a total of 73,100 Prius hybrids in all of 2008.
For their part, top competitor Honda sold 18,000 Insight Hybrids, which are priced at $20,470, during the first month on sale. Will the 2010 Prius beat that? Who will win the title of the world’s best-selling hybrid?

Have had deposit down on 2010 Level 5 for a while and can’t wait.
The more I read about new 2010 P. the more I am willing to wait.
Would have paid for both the solar package and Tech. package if they had offered them together. My prediction this is a home run in the making.
Wonderful early blog chatter has been fun to read and just makes me want it more.
Eager for Earth Day release which is what I hear. Hope to get car by end of May.
Does not matter what it cost I just want it.
