Is it true that the 2009 Prius will get 90mpg? And the newer 2008's will have the same battery as the 2009 so they will also get an average of 90mpg? I would love to know! Thanks
But in April of 2009 the redesigned 2010 model is scheduled to come out. What this redesign actually contains is under some speculation. Toyota has some plug-in Priuses that they have in test fleets, but their statements seem to suggest the next model Prius will not be a plug-in, and perhaps a different hybrid will be the first plug-in. The 2010 Prius is expected to be slightly bigger, with a slightly bigger engine and slightly better gas mileage. (Not 90 mpg, although under near-ideal conditions and very careful driving you can do that with today's Prius).
