Without that stuff I'm saving my money. If I'm smart I'll save my money anyway, but you know I get these urges...

you will get both of those for sure...

tideland - sliding console is feature of many upscale toyotas/lexuses... you can both slide it to reveal more features and then to open it up to reaveal interior...

I really, really hate that.

I hate where the screen is; it seems like glare would be even MORE of a problem with little to do about it as a hood would block driver's view.

I hate where the shift is as that whole center thing just sucks up space needlessly. All of the efficient use of space is completely destroyed.

I hate it so much, I'll buy a 2009 before I'll buy the 2010 redesign. I don't care if it does get a few miles more per gallon. I'll just pulse and glide a little more diligently.

also, projector is only one of the lights, 2nd would be high beams which are not projectors... since even Auris has projectors, I would think that they would be in...

I agree 100%. I'm not pleased by what I see here. That steering wheel has got to go!! I don't think I could be convinced to buy one with this interior even with improved mileage. Can't tell if the seats are better or powered. I'd like to see it in person.

i strongly doubt the layout of the interior follows the production model, i dont think toyota would put so much plastic and cheap seats.

Are you sure the pictures aren't of a red-neck 3m (duct tape) protective film DIY job?

I thought I saw one just like it here in Georgia.

Those rims looks like 17" or 18". Is it me or the hood looks longer? This is probably due to larger ICE.

With that new center console, it doesn't look like rural u.s. mail carriers will be able to drive it from the passenger seat.

I love the fact that the car is 1.2 inches shorter (but 1 inch wider) than the current generation Prius. (I hate the way car manufacturers almost always increase the length of a car with each generation.)
