With the launch in the states of three new models to the Prius range, Toyota is asking what the plural of Prius should be. They have made five suggestion: "Priuses"; "Prii"; "Prius"; "Prien"; and "Prium".

Any linguists out there with any other ideas? (For reference Prius is a latin adjective meaning "before").

That's more of a collective noun than the pluralisation. But like it all the same.smile
