    Instead of calling its hybrid the “Prius,†Latin for “first,†a change in strategy at Toyota could be summarized by renaming the car “Plurimus,†for “most,†because Toyota’s new plan is to make the 2010 Prius the company’s technology flagship car, equipped with all the gadgetry the company can muster.

    Thnaks for the link mate!

    I like how they specifically state that the EPA MPG ratings were not produced in ECO mode therefore one could easily top the EPA rating.
