Friends: 0 | There is absolutely no reason to place the shifter there, as long as it still has the CVT transmission...That center console is weird looking and a waste of space, imho. |

TRIP is unique to the Prius. My wager is that it'll control the Energy Monitor and Consumption Screen (formerly the INFO button). However, I'll be surprised if the buttons were reversed on the Prius. i.e. the TRIP is the odo/trip odo toggler and the DISP is everything else, as that'll confuse some people used to the DISP button on other Toyota/Lexus vehicles.

Friends: 0 | I wonder if Toyota is reconsidering the "first showing" at the Detroit auto show. I suspect the Detroit auto show may be a wake. |

Friends: 0 | I still have no desire to replace either of the perfectly good '07s that we have now, but the MFD location is an improvement. My concern was that it would go away for Prius that aren't NAV equipped, which would have been disappointing. But not only is it still there, it's even closer to the driver's line of sight! They must have realized that we drive around watching the screen and decided to do us a favor. Overall it looks like a very slick car. Bring on the EPA estimates! |

Friends: 66 | It wouldn't be a replacement for Rudy, but my DH, JavaJunki, is really quite taken with the photos of the 2010, and it is possible that his car, the venerable Buick, will need to be replaced by then... |

I could not agree more. I think the whole change is a sucumbing to the marketing department to bring the car away from practicality, and over to boy-racer fantasies. Very negative overall, I think. Just like wheel well bulges have become design lanquage for powerful cars, when they originally a safety add-on legally required in California, the center shifter is somehow being used as an artifice to imply superior control. I reiterate - ARTIFICE. I also think this is a bad buisness decision. Because boy racers buy cheap, and modify. That is not the Prius. Its expensive up-front and with lots of built-in value that take lots of low-speed miles to realise. The people with experience will - the people that buy the prius - will see through these changes - and buy a USED Prius. Dumb-dumb-dumb DUMB! Last edited by donee; 11-22-2008 at 08:45 AM. | |

Friends: 1 | I think I'll like the new Prius for the new cool stuff and technology. However, the rest is going to have to grow on me. To be honest, I like the look of the 04-09 better .... at least for now. ... Brad |
