This should be good. Brian Vickers drives the Red Bull Toyota in the Sprint Cup series, so at least he should be "pro-Toyota" in his assessment (if he wants to keep his current job, that is!). Not sure how impartial that will make this, though.

Maybe it's time for a hybrid NASCAR series! After all, the Prius did about 137 at the Bonneville salt flats...

Yup, only needs another 100 MPH to qualify.

I would love to see a Prius 1000 Mile road race, the winner would be the one with the lowest gas consumption. Any takers?

How about a new racing league, the winner would be by how far on one tank of fuel.?

Totally going to watch. Not to mention, Tommy Kendall does a great job in his review. I remember watching his review on the IS-F, and it was an untraditional way of reviewing. I wonder what exciting ways he's going to demonstrate and review the New Prius.

If Tommy don't like it it's not going to be on the show.
They don't do all new cars just the ones that count (In their view.).

Enjoy as Always!
