The highly anticipated 2010 Toyota Prius Hybrid is being revealed at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The new Prius is expected to make it to Toyota dealerships by late spring in the U.S. and Japan at the same time.
The new 2010 Toyota Prius will have even better gas mileage than the outgoing model while being bigger and more quite. Wow, how can you make this thing quieter? Hmm, that’s Toyota for you.
The new Prius is also expected to have one of the lowest drag-coefficient at 0.25Cd of any production vehicle as we know today. That aids in getting better gas mileage beating out the previous 41mpg figure to accomplish a combined 50mpg!!! Toyota took a stab back at Ford’s Fusion Hybrid in a MPG battle and Ford is bleeding, BAD.

Below is a video of a commercial for the newest 3rd generation Toyota Prius which we should see introduced at the 2009 NAIAS (2009 North American Auto Show) in Detroit next year.
Just like the design cues in the image of our Lexus HS250h post, it should share many components if not the majority of them with its more expensive Lexus-sister.
