The Toyota Prius is 50-state certified (so it's the same Prius with
low AT-PZEV/SULEV emissions no matter where you buy it). The
difference in the warranty notices is that it must be "primarily owned
and operated" in a CA-emissions state.

Ask to see the "2007 Toyota Prius Owner's Warranty Information"
booklet (which would be given to you when you purchase the vehicle,
and it should be Prius-specific and not generic to all Toyotas).
Under "New Vehicle Limited Warranty," Hybrid Vehicle System (which
includes the hybrid battery) is listed as 96 months/100,000 miles.
Under "Emission Control Warranty," "California(*)," the Hybrid Battery
Pack itself is listed as 120 months/150,000 miles. There should be a
note for the * stating which states have adopted the CA emissions.

I know that for 2004 this was only for CA, MA, ME, NY, VT, while in
2005 it was CA, CT, ME, MA, NH, NJ, NY, RI, VT. I don't know which
states have adopted the CA emissions for the 2007 model year, but I'd
be willing to guess that neither CT nor NY dropped the CA emissions
since 2005 and that more states are in the list.

I think you should email toyota (toyota.com has an email address for
costumer care) as well as the dealer in CT, who told you that the longer
warranty doesn't apply. Apparently, Toyota needs to do a better job of
communicating with the dealers, and the CT dealer needs to learn the facts.
