Sneak Peek of the New Prius #11

Will it work with gloves on?
The black seal is to reduce wind noise.
Could it be a tiny speaker/microphone, for when you go into a drive through, and the speaker quality is crap so the 15 year old kid can't understand you? Revenge against Maccas and Burger King!!!

Every new Prius driver will be happy to see this on his/her door.

Hey, that's great, no one pinched my door handles today!!

I hope it's the new keyless locking trigger (no more black buttons) and I hope they're on all 5 doors.

probably on drivers door only, and hatch possibly...

if we got lucky, passanger side got it as well...

... only Lexi and very expensive Toyota's (Land Cruiser) get it on all 5 doors.

OK to put all the speculation to rest...

Go to any Toyota store today and look at and play with the new Venza. This is the new way that Toyota is designing the SKS locking mechanism on the outside of the door handles.. It's more sylish according to them when describing the Venza ... and it's only on the front doors on the Venza.

The reflection on the upper part of the picture does not seem to match for example the 2 notches are missing and the very long horizontal ridge is on the reflection only

That's a good tip. It looks like a lot of things in the 2010 Prius have been used in either the Crown Sedan(Japan only) or the Venza.

I think I see the "Open/Close" switch we saw in Sneak peak #1 in a ceiling photo of the Venza for the moon roof.

The the Center column MFD we saw in Bossdowner's latest video and steering wheel controls look almost identical as well.

Check that...that second photo is a Toyota Auris....the Venza's console/steering wheel aren't the same.

Here is a closer look at the Venza's sunroof switch.

That right most switch looks a lot like the sneak peek 2

I wonder where that switch is. In the bossdowner commercial, I didn't see any part of the car with that shiny white surface.
