I know most of the time the only true leather is on top where you sit.. the other is fabricated, but its tough to notice unless your looking.

The dashboard is now textured not 2 toned flat anymore.

Yeah I'm wondering if this might not be the final design, the picture on the main 2006 page with the sidemarker light and the badge and the new wheels looks more like it to me.

Personally I don't care for the chrome brakelights and think the black melded better with the lower rear window. I also don't care for the extra orange reflectors in the front. I do like the new wheels on the other page, these are just the wheels we have now without the plastic trim rings.

Love the leather, jurys still out on this new "grained black plastic". I'm wondering if its going to feel cheap.

Those wheels are Japan only, I think they've been around. The side marker and badging isn't heading for the US so the 2006 pics that were out nearly 2 months ago are the US release. The trim rings werent on the rims and the antenna wasnt screwed on but that's the car like it or hate it unfortunately.

Right most cars have leather only on the seating surface for cost and because the vinyl tends to hold its shape better than leather for the sides and back.

Grrr! I dislike about.com. Those are simply the press photos released by toyota a while ago, dressed up in advertising! You can find the same images in higher res with a little searching on this site.

It's far down that page, though! Means you have do do some finger exercise to get there!
