Toyota adds cheaper 2008 Prius to lineup

Overall, Prius prices mostly unchanged

Sometime in August Toyota will begin selling the 2008 Toyota Prius. While there won't be any major changes to either the vehicle or its pricing, Toyota is adding a cheaper standard model, which will list for $20,950.

The hard-to-find Touring edition will begin at $23,220.

Possibly, in late 2008, Toyota will begin adding its third generation Hybrid Synergy Drive to the Prius and the rest of Toyota hybrid vehicles.
