Prius wagon in the cards? Maybe
Toyota, already the world leader in hybrid car sales, plans on increasing the number of Prius models in an effort to reach their ambitious goal of selling 1 million hybrids within ten years. The new model will be a station wagon and will have a rear seat large enough to fit three adults. These changes are being made so that delivery and taxi fleets will have even more reason to choose the fuel-efficient alternative over other suitable models.
Toyota has already announced that their next-generation Prius sedan will go on sale in 2009, and the wagon version should be ready two years later in 2011.

Any word on whether they will offer a 4WD/AWD version? That would make it a serious competitor to the Subaru wagons, which the the most common cars in the Boulder CO area. Lots of my friends keep buying Subarus because of the AWD capability even though the like the Prius (although a few have bought hybrids).
