Looking for 2006 Prius PKG 8 leather pics

[smy]

Hi all!

I ordered a 2006 Prius PKG 4 and will be doing a leather add-on from the dealership. Does anyone who has a package 8 also have pictures of the leather interior you can send me? Also, what exactly is "leatherized"? I would like to have this information to ensure the dealership emulates exactly the Package 8 leather (they claim they can).

Thanks much!

One thing to be aware of is that Package 8 has a leather covered steering wheel and center console, so even if they use matching material, it will not "emulate exactly the Package 8 leather"

Also, I doubt that any on-line picture will be good enough for you to judge the quality or color.

You are lucky to have Package 4 in your region. It isn't available here in Vermont.

There are a couple pictures you may not have seen of leather at this thread. I just put them up this afternoon. They are pretty representative.

Thanks everyone! Great pics. Correct me if I'm wrong, but is the following in leather:
steering wheel
seats and headrests (and rear armrest) - seats have tiny holes??)
side panels
center console
anything else???

Thanks!

Also, I live in Chicago, but for the first 3 days of January, toyota.com indicated PKG 4 available in my region, and the invoice was written as such. The dealer then said it can only be aquired from the NY market, so they are doing a Prius swap.

Yes, steering wheel is leather (very nice)

No holes in leather seats or headrests. Arms rests and center console are leather.

Side panels around armrests are plastic and odd black stuff but looks styling enough.

Rear leather seats are nice loooking and comfy.

I just came back from a road trip and having heated seats would have been nice. You might consider after market leather with heat.

Great info. Thanks. When I said "holes", I mean't to say "textured", which I think the factory leather is. I am actually getting the aftermarket leather with heated seats. Thanks again for your very valuable feedback!
