FYI... Toyota pulled the link 
Probably coincidence or the webmaster saw a traffic spike in an old page which reminded him to retire it.
In any case, here's the archive of it.

Re: Prius, Priuses, Prii
As a Prius owner and self-acclaimed Latin nerd, I will take it upon myself to point out that the Latin word "prius" is a neuter form of the 3rd declension adjective "prior / prioris". If I recall, that would make the plural adjective something like "priora"? (Corrections welcome).
As a Prius owner and self-acclaimed English speaker, I refuse to call our two Prii "Priora", and I reserve the right to call them "Priuses" when I feel like it.
That is all.
