Well if I could add some controversy, there was this article that the new Prius is as fast as the first gen FRS/BRZ/86. The comments on Facebook were hilarious, a lot of people were very offended. https://www.thedrive.com/news/the-2023-toyota-prius-is-as-quick-to-60-mph-as-the-old-toyota-86

A Sienna is probably faster than many sporty cars....

Looks great. Headroom might be an issue in the rear seat.

^^I'm guessing the smoke was coming from a blown head gasket and wrecked turbo??
I'm #1 on the wait list at one lot and I'm #2 at another lot for a new Prius Prime. XSE Premium in Red.One lot required a deposit, the other didn't until MSRP is announced.So we'll see.

Am I wrong to say that they have not announced fuel economy yet either?

But it seems like you have to get on a list even if your remotely interested.Fuel economy I've read is supposed to be incrementally better (1-2mpg) but EV range 50 percent better.I really like the looks.

Nice! Was there any info when the pricing is coming out and when they will be available here?
