2010 Prius in the United Kingdom

Oh yeah I'd like to do that, is registering congestion charge exemptions complicated? I'm hoping I can just download an application form and post it off but I get the feeling it's going to be much more painful. At least registration is free, right?

Relatively simple, but not free

You need to fill out a form from Transport for London:

You need the exemption certificate from Toyota:

Copy of your registration document from the DVLA (V5C)

And a cheque for £10 (for one year's exemption)

When that runs out - you have to renew your exemption again.

I never bothered to do mine as I only ever drive through Central London at weekends - and C Charge is not valid then anyway

Yes you have to register. The camera's wont recognise a Prius and not charge you!

£10 a year is ALOT cheaper than the £40 a week it would normally cost to drive into the zone. Also a lot of councils grant free resident parking to cars under 100g CO2 (like mine - Islington). Start adding it all up and you can make big savings before you even go near a petrol pump.

Some bad news: I picked up a 3rd gen brochure (it was very similar to the pdf of the European brochure)from Dingle's and on the cover it just said (in very big letters):

1.08.09

Bummer.

Why am I not surprised?

But if it's any consolation, the HUD comes as standard on all models, it actually projects a color (or at least two tone) map on to the windscreen for nav. Score!

The brochure doesn't mention Dynamic Radar Cruise Control or LKA at all, which I thought was weird since they even spoke about the sunroof as an option. Maybe they're so expensive that they don't wanna scare us away

Fear not my friends - I've been told they are trying to bring the date forward.

I'll scan and PDF the brochure if anyone is interested

My local dealer knew nothing when I called in on Sunday.

I really hope we get the dynamic cruise option - that's an option I'm very interested in. I'd be very surprised if we didn't.

I would be interested in the brochure please, when you mean bring the date forward, when are we talking? Also where did you get that info?
