This will hopefully mean that Toyota will lower the price on the Prius and make it more accessible to a lower financial bracket and or introduce some new technology like the plug in hybrid. (I think they announced that they were ready to release the plug in). What I don't see fit is the Price...

I won't be able to say more until I review it, but, right offhand, that seems a little high for a sedan that size, hybrid or not. Still, is seems far better-looking than the Prius, inside and out, and lacking some of the Prius's quirks and annoying features. And, to boot, I found the downgrade of the sheet metal and interior material quality in the new 2010 Prius disappointing compared to the 2009 model. The HS250 just may (?) be worth the extra money over the Prius.

Pricing is now released. $34k was about what I figured the base model will be and mid-upper 30k for the NAV and etc. I think it is priced well!

The $34,000 figure sounds like pretty aggressive pricing, especially compared to what the Euros would charge for an equivalent model, if one existed. And lower than the MT, etc. forecasts. That said, the actual pricing depends on what packaging allocations they provide.
