Getting to Know Toyota's New Prius

SGCM: Since original target audience for the Prius heavily prioritises fuel efficiency in their cars, will there be an all-electric Prius down the road?

KT: Toyota is looking into an all-electric Prius, but I can't reveal what stage of the development process we are at or how soon an all-electric Prius will hit the market. A lot of research and development is needed in order to make the car reliant on electricity alone.

HELP!!!!!

I have had a 2007 prius for about a year now. Great little car. Today the warning light, and VSC light came on. Then the ABS light and the car would no longer go into gear. We had a diagnostic and the two codes that came up were 1121 and 1116. A few questions:

Speed is of the essence as I drive many miles for my job and I need to work
