It picked up the name Jelly Bean car after listening to Click and Clack on Car Talk trying to talk someone into buying a Prius, and him coming back with "but it looks like a jelly bean!".
A couple weeks ago we traded it in on a new Jelly Bean:

| Our new 2010 Jelly Bean |
The old Prius had 101K miles on it and was still doing fine -- it will very likely go another 100K miles for its new owner. But, we decided to take advantage of the slump in car sales and get a new one while the prices are down a bit.
The new one (they call it a generation 3), does have some nice refinements -- quieter, a little more roomy, a little more comfortable, better fuel economy, better performance, ... Nothing dramatic, but small improvements that add up. Hope this one serves us as well as the old one did.
Some more thoughts here...
