I am beginning to do the reading/research on the Prius. I currently own a 2005 Nissan getting about 20 MPG. I have not done enough reading yet, but is the main difference between a 2008 and 2009 Prius the "plug in" feature? Any other advantages for waiting? I know the '09 is not out yet but " speculatin' " is so much fun. When might the 2009 Prius be out?

I second Ken's guess. I suspect it'll be a carryover model. The new one will be a 2010 model (whenever that arrives).
