My wife Sylvie and I were in Toronto at the Auto Show and we were invited to a sneak preview of the Toyota 3rd generation 2010 Prius.  The car is quite impressive with all the new technology.  Sylvie and I were on camera giving our impressions. 

The video in French is at www.prius.ca/fr   and the video in English is at www.prius.ca/en

It feels pretty strange to be on the Prius main site talking about Prius products when we know the fights we had with the car companies just a year ago on imports.

My daughter Caroline Bergeron currently doing her Masters in Communications at Montreal University wrote the CarsWithoutBorders story entitled going from “Words to Action”.   This 34-page report earned her a well deserved A+.  If you can understand French, you will love this recapitulation of last year’s historic events.  There are numerous testimonies (in English) from members and she put it all together in today’s context of the internet and communications into action.  Enjoy the reading.

…… we need say no more! …..
