Nice pics...thanks for posting. In the backseat photo I couldn't see it but is the air intake cooling vent still located on the passenger side rear seat by the window...just wondering if it was moved?

Ok. This is a bit off topic, but still kind of related. I haven't seen a picture of a 2010 door handle that has the square, black, SKS lock button. Can someone verify if they are still there on SKS equipped 2010 Prii or if they took them off? If indeed they don't include it anymore, does locking the car from the outside rely completely on the fob lock button?

I hadn't noticed but yes, the lock button on the outside of front door handles is gone. I always lock mine using the inside armrest switch as I am stepping out, so that is another alternative to relying on the key fob.

There is a lock button on the rear hatch that locks all the doors.

The external lock button looks to now be a set of touch sensitive grooves/ bumps on the door handle itself.

Search for "2010 Toyota Prius: Smart Key"on youtube. It's about 2:15 in.

I like a lot about the 2010, but I HATE the gear shift. I hate where they put it, I hate the fact that it is going backwards in technology, and not forward. My dad had a car in the 1960's that had Push Buttons for the transmission on the dash. You would think by 2010, we would be done with the gear stick, and just be push buttons on a screen.

And that center console just looks like it gets in the way of ever being able to slide across the car. Which oddly enough, I have had to do once or twice in my Prius.

Don't hate me for being honest. I am just even more pleased I have my '05 still. And I have the bypass so I can type on the screen while driving as well. But I hope you enjoy the car.

Here's a pic (notice the grooves, which are on top and bottom of the front part of the handle).

What's that piece protruding above the handle--I've never seen that in any pictures?

LOL!
You are right brained/left brained whatever they call it!
Look at that close up longer.. stare at it.
It's the INSIDE of the door handle where your hand slips to open the door... reflection is fooling ya.
You see it convex I think?
