Start the queue now. The 2006 Prius is listing for $21,725 (up 2.1 percent) and includes many new standard features and options, such as an audio package that includes MP3 player support and a mini-jack port.
Safety features abound -- standard are a Tire Pressure Monitoring system as well as sensors that detect the size of the front seat occupants to determine whether or not to deploy the airbag.
Also new is the optional rear view camera, and an upgraded GPS navigation package. But if you want to take full advantage of the federal tax credit, you should order one now, because as I've reported previously Toyota's tax credits will likely be gone by June, and the company continues to fall behind demand, forcing customers to wait up to four months for delivery.
