Pimp Yer Prius – SEMA 2009

November 3, 2009 in Hybrids, MPG by kristen | No comments

While the Toyota Prius gets the Aerius treatment at the official Toyota booth, there’s a way cooler, totally pimped version at the other end of the “Making Green Cool Zone” at the 2009 SEMA show in Las Vegas. Like all the best supercars, the doors on this Prius up, and the gold-and-green flake paint job lets people know you care about looking styling as much as you care about the environment.

Stay tuned for more posts from SEMA, including more on the Prius Aerius and announcements from the X Prize people.
