The Plural of Prius is, Prius as in (ex. one Prius, two Prius, a fleet of Prius)
Prius is derived from Latin and it means "to go before" Prius was Toyota's first hybrid, it was the first in a long line of hybrids to come, by 2010 all Toyota vehicles are slated to have hybrid powertrains at least as an option, each time a vehicle is redesigned it will receive the hybrid powerplant or drivetrain as an option. The 2007 Camry Hybrid was the first vehicle to come from this program. The 2006 Highlander Hybrid (HH) was not a part of this program and it is a performance hybrid rather than an economy hybrid like Prius and Camry. It is rumored that the Highlander Hybrid was actually designed as two models a performance hybrid and an economy hybrid, the economy Highlander hybrid seems to have died in the marketing department, but it has not been ruled out yet. It will be nice if the 2007 Highlander hybrid has an economy button like the Camry does to switch modes.
Priuses, and Prii are incorrect, Toyota itself only uses Prius as both singular and Plural in their press releases.
