@Ne0nLiteZ Since "Prius" is a nonsense word, its plural can be similarly nonsensical. But I believe if it were to follow Latin rules, the plural would be "Priori". "Prii" doesn't seem to have any more traction than "virii" as the plural of "virus".
@Ne0nLiteZ Hmm — seems that this time a year ago, Toyota polled the public to determine what the plural should be: Prien, Prii, Prium, Prius, or Priuses. You're right that "Prii" won the popular vote. Since it's a nonsense word of their own making, that gives them the right to pluralize it however they want. Thanks for the heads-up!
