Should I buy a Toyota Prius for 2008 or wait until 2009?
The latest rumor is that the next-generation complete-redesign Prius (using Lithium Ion batteries) won’t hit the market until the 2010 model year. In any case, you probably don’t want to buy the newly-redesigned Prius right when it comes out– It would be wise to wait a couple years for them to iron out any bugs first. The first of a newly-redesigned model is bound to have inevitable bugs. The 2008 is the finest of the 2nd-generation Prius– This particular generation has been around since 2004, and the 2008 is the most refined and bug-free of its generation. I would buy a 2008, then wait until 2012 to upgrade to a 3rd-generation Lion-powered Prius after it has had a couple of years to mature. Hope this helps.
