Prius I Vs. Prius II
Ok, so I am not new to the Prius in general. I just recently purchased one and have found this wonderful site. But I have a general question. How do you know if you have a Prius I or a Prius II??? I am sure this is posted somewhere, but I have searched and cannot find an answer. Help!

Re: Prius I Vs. Prius II
My understanding is Prius I is a Prius made between 2000 and 2003. The 2004 and later models are Prius II. The body style is significantly different between the two, with the Prius II being the rounder body style. Also, Prius II has the results of a few years of improvements in the batteries and Hybrid Synergy Drive

Re: Prius I Vs. Prius II
Thank you both for your help. I figured it had to do with the generation (year) but wanted to make sure it didn't have to do with having 2 car options, like "sport" and "sedan".
