Friends: 59 | Re: Sneak Peek of the New Prius #9 Normal Mode? Power Mode is interesting. I believe this is the first time in any HSD hybrids. |

We have the EV button here in Europe since ever, but I'm not sure if you guys in the USA have received it on the touring edition... have you? It would make sense to me to make the 3rd button the EV one. You either drive for consumption, for power, or in EV. What kind of behavior would the car be required to have in "normal" mode?

Friends: 2 | Re: Sneak Peek of the New Prius #9 It would make sense that the 3rd is an EV Mode. It already exists on the Highlander Hybrid so it makes sense to extend it to the primary hybrid in the lineup. Afterall....... Prius = Hybrid |

I think I have the location for this buttons... they are black, so they must be on the center console... and looking at the spy photos I think I got them here:  The leftmost button is CLEARLY the EV button symbol, the exact same symbol just like we have today, this one:  Last edited by jprates; 12-01-2008 at 01:53 PM.

Friends: 23 | Re: Sneak Peek of the New Prius #9 Perhaps the buttons are: 1) Hybrid Mode which presents the HSD we all know and love. 2) ECO Mode which is battery only (EV button). 3) Power Mode which is ICE only. |
