I like the post on http://priusonline.com/ that Toyota indicates that Prius is both singular and plural, like deer or sheep. " We asked the Toyota executive in charge of the initial Prius rollout how his people refer to more than one Prius. His response was "Prius". They use the same word for both. And since they named the vehicle, they are the ones that get the official say... I prefer "Prius" for plural. It has a stealth-like quality."
I also ask myself what does Prius mean? My search shows me that "Toyota reminds us that Prius means “ahead of its time” in Latin."
I like two Prius cars but don't mind Prius as both singular and plural.
