There is a long, long tradition for RFCs to be issued on 1-April which are not to be taken so seriously (e.g.: Telnet Randomly Lose (748) and
Subliminal Message (1097) options). They've occasionally shown up on implementation checklists: this can been interpreted by the vendor's support departments that a potential client may need additional support.
Some are intended to be taken seriously,
but authors have been known to request pubilication to be held for a few days to prevent confusion (not that there aren't some that need this distinction).
The '04 seats five adults comfortably and has plenty of trunk space, but I imagine you're thinking more along the lines of something like the
Hybrid Highander that they announced for early next year.
They're trying to appeal to early adopters. Somebody else replied that Honda has an electric version of the Civic that's virtually indistinct from the petrol model. Unfortunately, it's tough to make it the 'hip thing to do' when you make a car with such amazing fuel efficiency when you don't spot other people driving them.
The early adopters are buying them anyway: demand for the 2004 Prius far exceeded Toyota's expectations. I waited four months for mine to come in; some people ordering them now are being told that they'll probably get the '05 model. And I'm telling them that it's worth the wait.
I'm not sure that I'd qualify as an "early adopter" since Toyota is calling it their second generation hybrid.
Casio Pathfinder watch. I believe it's discontinued -- couldn't find it on the Casio site -- but can still be found for well under the $500 list price.
Can hook up to a machine with a serial port but they include only Windows drivers:-(

Google turned up an implementation of IPv6, that um, led, to the other link..
The material in the intro, yeah: that's for real. The proposal itself is not.

The Noxema ad? Coke? Were these really aired for the first time during a Super Bowl?
