If they're fruit, you have two apples. If they're computers, you have two Apple computers (or two Macintosh computers, or one of each).

If they're cars, you have two Prius cars... right?

"Two Prius automobiles" is more euphonious to my ear. ;)

No, he would have a puzzled look because "Prius" in the sense it is used here -- the name of an automobile -- is not a Latin word and he would have no knowledge of automobiles, no knowledge of Japan, and no insight into how Japanese automobile manufacturers name their cars. Might as well ask him the Latin plural of Camry.
