A Vash question: What's the plural of Prius? (don't cheat)

It's sorta undecided unless, of course, you ask a Toyota spokesperson. They had to do something back when it all started.

I could make a poll but let's see the variables before establishing boundaries.

Prii.

I guess Subaru had a plan when they named the top of the fleet model the "Ascent". Surely the used ones later on once owned by wanna be hippies and hipster dufus's (dufii?) will be referred to as an "Ass Scent".

"smugness"? .....No, that's the term for the drivers of these cars.

How about "steaming piles of excrement"?

I looked at other nouns that end in us to get a hint. No help, really, but I'm guessing Priuses because Prii looks weird.

Bolus pl Boli
Anus pl Anuses
Discus pl Discuses
Locus pl Loci
