Lots of posts about the 2009 not being different from the GEN II Prius. Well, just got this in an email from TMS. It's a color chart for Toyota/Scion/Lexus models (I converted it to Google Docs format). If you click on the Prius tab, you'll see that 2009 is a full carryover, and 2010 is a full redesign dropping in April 2009. link removed at the request of Toyota according to the owner of the dealership I work for, the 2010 Prius will offer a solor panel option that keeps the inside of the car cool while it's off. He didn't elaborate much on that, though. I hope this helps clear up confusion, and you guys may like to look at the other toyota models plans. Last edited by Danny; 05-22-2008 at 03:46 PM.

I know most people "knew" it, or could guess based on what toyota's been saying to the press, but I figured this would just help out. The solar option is hearsay, though, from a reliable source to me. I know it doesn't mean much to the group. |

I'm looking forward to seeing the 3rd Gen Prius at the SF auto show around Thanksgiving time. They had better! ... *give it a bit more power for steep hills * put in that darn pump handle for driver seat height adjustment (why do they not have that now !!!) * telescoping steering wheel so tall folks who must put the seat almost all back don't have arms outstreched, duh, every $15k Corolla has telescopic wheel. what else ... those are my 3 biggies |

I'm comfy in my 2005, have tons of room, can see just fine all around me, and my arms aren't tired. But, if they had all those features, they'd be so much easier to sell to elderly or tall customers. |

Interesting that they're gonna use Blue Ribbon. Blue Ribbon was dropped from the TCH in Canada (still offered in the US). Winter Grey.. Is that a silver colour? lol. Like Silver Spruce (Sienna) but less green and more white/grey? Also note that Blizzard Pearl is a premium Toyota colour ($255 in Canada). It's 3-coat and is a very nice white. Lastly, I noticed that the grey has an all grey interior but they kept the beige/black combo (which is fantastic. I love the contrast and would rather have black than various shades of brown. |
