The Prius Team has posted a new image over on TN this afternoon. Looks like B mode is confirmed, along with a cooler looking "joystick" than we have now.

Nice to see that Toyota left the shifter functionality unchanged. Hopefully this is yet another sign or indication that Toyota hasn't asked for too much marketing help to improve the Prius.

So what is the funky blue grid pattern-- is it imbedded in the shifter knob, or is that the reflection of the underside of the solar roof?

1) I'm surprised it took me several hours to figure out just how far out of context that question could be taken.

2) I'm surprised no one has yet.

Wasn't that visible from the spy pics? Ah well, cool looking shifter for sure. I just wished it didn't take up so much space.

Yay, more sneak peaks!
That is a sweet shifter, if it's got standard threads I'd seriously consider trading out the one in my Prius for that baby.
