I'm on a waiting list for the Prius and anticipate a December to March
delivery. I figure that makes me slated for the 2005 Prius. I don't think
there will be any dramatic changes but has anyone heard anything about the
2005?

My dealer told me that there will be no changes, but that in mid model
year they might change a color or two.

Ooh good question. I'm slated for 2005 model also but may get a
delivery in October - December time frame. Toyota has been a
traditionally conservative car company so I wouldn't expect anything
beyond a few very minor tweaks after a new 2004 overhauled model
introduction.

Every dealer I've heard from (some first hand, and some second hand) has
said that the only possible changes would be a color change in mid
model-year, and that's only a "maybe."

On the other hand, there's an entire new set of manuals at the Toyota
web site for 05s, with different part numbers from the 04s.

Based on accessories being offered on ebay, I'm led to believe that a
back-up sensor may be an option on several Toyota models, possibly including
the Prius.

We just got a 2005 Prius last week and we love it. My friend has a 2004 and
I fit more comfortably in the drivers seat in the 2005 than in the 2004.
Surprisingly spacious for a small car. I'm 6'4" so it really matters to me.
BTW, we showed up on the lot, test drove it and bought it on the spot. Very
unusual for Socal but we're very happy with it.

That's surprising because they are exactly the same size.

That's also surprising because normally there are waiting lists for the
Prius.

But I'm glad that you're very happy with it. Which option package did
you get, and how much over or under MSRP did you pay?
