Toyota Announces Facebook Contest to Celebrate 10th Anniversary of Prius

TORRANCE, Calif., Aug. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- The Toyota Prius is celebrating its first decade in the U.S. market this year.  In a nod to the technological innovation heralded and led by the introduction of the Prius to the automotive market, Toyota is announcing an online contest to find the most passionate Prius fan in the United States* to host the official 10 Years of Toyota Prius Anniversary Celebration.

As a result, this car with the singularly recognizable silhouette has attracted a uniquely loyal customer base, a true community of shared pride and purpose. To celebrate everything that the Prius has become, Toyota will honor this community of like-minded buyers by holding an online contest to find the most passionate Prius fan.
