I know there were a limited number of keychains out there when the Prius was first promoted (anyone know where to get one now?) But I'm surprised Toyota or some other company has not tried to market Prius clothing (shirts, jackets, hats) or other memorabilia like bumper stickers, license plate frames, even gloves or jewelry. With the cult-like following this car has developed, I'm sure they could turn a fair profit for such items!
There should be Prius PERSONAL accessories!!

http://www.priustees.com for custom prius t-shirts. Some very goofy ones, too.
I've seen the keychains on ebay.

I agree with you. They've got fancy key chains, T's, caps, ink pens, etc. that they sell for lots of Toyota's other cars. Here's one with a fanatical group of drivers that'll buy anything with the words "green", "hybrid", or "Prius" anywhere on it, and you can't find a single item for sale at my local parts dept.
I wonder what gives there.

I've seen keychains and CD boxes at a local dealership... I think you can get nice licensce frames on Ebay as well as the console covers and other car-oreinted stuff. Hmmm.... any enterpreuners out there?
I did a search on the above site (which re-directs to http://www.pixeltees.com), and only ONE prius shirt turned up, a "Prius Patriot" shirt that featured the "classic" model Prius against an American flag background. Nice, but not applicable since I traded up to the 2005 model last month!Sanny said:
As for keychains...maybe they were on e-bay once, but there are none available now, and haven't been for a while. *sigh* guess I'll just have to live without...oh woe is I for my lack of Prius decoration :shock:
I find the 'waiting gift' keychain quite useful. I put the Prius fob all by it's lonesome on that ring. My work and house keys are on a 2nd ring.Hep said:
Both of these go on one of those imitation mountain-climbing rings (there is probably a special mountain-climbing name for them ... much the same way piton = spike... but I don't know what it is.)
That way when I drop the car off at the dealer, or choose a different car to take to work... I unhook the key in question while still retaining posession of the rest.
Let's see, Prius gear/swag I've received from Toyota:
worldtime calculator (long wait for my Classic)
keychain (long wait for my Pioneer 2004)
stuff given to me by dealers (referrals, purchase through them, or I bought from them):
wristwatch in a plastic case
luggage tags
stuff I've seen but didn't get:
embroidered baseball cap
stuff I got at the Prius Engines of Change media tour:
cloth-covered notebook/binder
T-shirt
breath mints (makes your breath as clean as the Prius' emissions!)
magnetic name-tags
I'm certain that I'm forgetting some other swag somewhere...
I have heard of lunchbox coolers sent to some Classic Prius owners... There was another gift for the first Prius owners, but I don't remember what that was, but it was different than the calculator...)
(Classic Prius owners would get the calculator, and later a copy of the owner's manual, in the mail while waiting... So, when your car came in, you had 2 owner's manuals, but you already had time to read it through before you got your car...)
Off of eBay I did buy a Prius polo shirt, but that wasn't a Toyota item.
For a while, Toyota partnered with pixeltees.com to create priustees.com, where owners could make their own Prius shirts (use actual Toyota logos and graphics, besides uploading their own). I guess the contract ran out recently... I recall that there were several dozen designs made by various owners across the country that were available, besides whatever you created yourself.

In all seriousness now....
http://www.toyotapartsstore.com has the HSD keychains you're looking for. Go to the Prius link at the side of the page and flip through their products. It should be there, it was last week.
