Wait, so are the batteries still NICKEL-based? Just wondering how you guys are planning to recycle those in the future? Hope you've built a secure nickel vault, somewhere deep underground... Cus if that goes into the water, it gets real ugly. Other than that, the product is really sweet.

Yes, the batteries are still Nickel-based.

Toyota has been recycling nickel-metal hydride batteries since the RAV4 Electric Vehicle was introduced in 1998. Every part of the battery, from the precious metals to the plastic, plates, steel case and the wiring, are recycled or processed for disposal in an environmentally friendly fashion following local, state, and federal regulations.

When will it be in in the US showrooms?

[ToyotaUSA]

It's scheduled to go on sale beginning in late May at Toyota dealers nationwide.

[LabelDoc]

Is late May the first time they will be available for advance order as well?

[ToyotaUSA]

Some dealers are currently taking names/numbers from customers for the Prius.

these was a British study done and the land rover discovery was found to be more environmentally friendly than the prius. plus its maximum speed is above 60 mph

Whenever I see a Prius on streets, I honk. Whenever I see a Prius in parking lots, I smash it

[GaySingleMulatto]

Wow - mono-chromatic neighborhood.

@OICURful Toyota is the best selling car in America. check GOOD CAR BAD CAR for monthly best selling car reports. Toyota is always number one even during conspiracy and black propaganda days. They cannot put a good product down.

[OICURful]

Totally awesome car. A pleasure to own and drive. Way to go Toyota!

[seedl3ss420]

How it economical to have all those extra features that take extra resources to build and add weight to the car making the mpg worse? Maybe they need all the extra features to make people forget that it's a ugly car and still a cheaply made toyota?

[midnitesquirldog]

if i wanted a go cart i would go buy one

[lexusES350h]

love this car, want it! but too expensive for me.. pffft i;m so cheap D= i don't mind the recall, they have a fix anyways, and its just an unfortunate for those who died

[macnerd93]

this car sucks and the fact they are on a recall makes it even more horrid
