<DIV><BR></DIV>The Prius will go down is history as one of the greatest
innovations in the history of the automobile. It is the best car I've ever
owned, and has enough room for several piano actions with room to spare. Not a
mm of wasted space. After driving a prius, a non-hybrid all gas vehicle
feels simply archaic.<BR><BR>Terry Peterson<BR><BR>

both grand and upright actions in the rear with the rear seats folded down -
lots of room to spare. We've had it for 2-1/2 years now and love it. I have

roomy is the Prius? Is it a good kid hauler like a minivan although
