".....either a station wagon or SUV, is set to go on sale by the end of next year." "It will be the first from Toyota Motor Corp. with a lithium-ion battery..." " ...will sell for about 2 million yen ($22,000)..."

I did a search, and couldn't find anything, so I figured I'd post. You guys are aware that Matchbox has a 2nd gen Prius out, right? The card pack shows it as a 2008 Prius, the bottom of the car lists it as a "Toyota Prius-2009".

I was strolling through Walmart and saw a few of these on the hanger in the toy section. They had three total, two in the beige color, and one in the aquamarine color. I bought one of each color, just because I've never seen a small Toyota in Matchbox before. I looked for a Corolla, but didn't see one.

Here's a page with photos of it:

My wife is considering a 2010 Prius. She is trying to decide between a Prius III (no sunroof or Nav & cloth seats) for $24,175 (best deal was sticker, but no Toyoguard rip off) or a Prius III (with sunroof and Nav) for 28,503 - best price, sticker again.

Personally we don't like the Nanny Nav and would rather get a Garmin, but it seems you can only get a sunroof with the Nanny Nav.

Most stealerships around here throw in at least $700 of crapola and the above quote is from a stealership 6 hour round trip away.

Are they that much in demand to get above sticker? Is sticker 'fair". Anyone able to get it below sticker?
