Friends: 36 | Re: 2010 Prius - sneak peek of solar roof panel And I suspect a sunroof.(front half) Did you also notice the steering wheel appears to be on the right which is correct for Japan but the wipers are the wrong way around???? Last edited by patsparks; 01-01-2009 at 12:12 AM. |

Friends: 28 | Re: 2010 Prius - sneak peek of solar roof panel Nice find!! Thanks for posting ken1784. hmm, the Prius looks like a van from above hehe. Anyone noticed the wheel design? They almost look like wheel covers (instead of alloys) and 15" in size. Also, couldn't they still incorporate thin solar panel wiring in the moonroof like how audi and BMW did it with their solar panel moonroof option? |

Friends: 12 | Re: 2010 Prius - sneak peek of solar roof panel Now to hope that they offer the 'premium' Prius' in all markets within the U.S. I don't get why Toyota's marketing department wouldn't allow the NYC metro area to receive Prius' with leather when I ordered my 2006. Hopefully Prius Team reads all of our concerns and makes sure that at least us prius fanatics can get the cars we want when they come out in our local areas...  |

Friends: 0 | Re: 2010 Prius - sneak peek of solar roof panel . . . I don't get why Toyota's marketing department wouldn't allow the NYC metro area. . . . Not exactly what I think you ran into. It is the DEALER or the regional Distributor that steered you to aftermarket leather. When I bought my Prius in Palm Beach, I was told the same thing. When I got to know the owner of the dealership, he told me that the aftermarket leather made the dealer far more money than the sale of the Prius. FWIW, I got the factory leather and it was more expensive than aftermarket - but i DID get the factory, leather covered steering wheel! That leather covered steering wheel is a good clue as to factory installed leather. Cheers, |
