I like the shot from the back with the hatch open and the seats down.

yeah, added to the front page here too (2nd post)... hybrid battery seems smaller now, trunk space bigger... leather quality and carpeted trunk looks expensive :-).

spwolf, did any of the pics you found show solar panels in high res? If they did im sure youd have shown them by now (sits biting nails if it'll in faact have solar now) lol

Hi All,

Still do not like the center council/shifter!!!. Still do not like the offset spedometer. Still do not like the GPS display at the dangerously low position!!

I see that the HSD display is now integrated into the upper panel, and its MONOCHROME, and SMALLER -- BIG STEP BACKWARDS - DANGEROUS TO USE IN TRAFFIC!!

Hi All,

OH OH!! Looks like people who do not opt for the GPS do not get a center console screen at ALL! Looks like they get old-fashioned manual (read non-hackable!!!!!) radio controls panel instead!!

STATUS SYMBOL ENGINEERING IN PLAY!

nope... we know it is getting both hud and solar from press release leaked on japanese site... so dont worry about that.

I actually like it in the lower position, gives the dash a much better look. I wouldnt call it dangerously low either.

Very true, just gotta hope it isn't made late availability...

Hi All,

The more I look at this new interior the MORE DISGUSTED I get. It seems to me that just because they did a semi-incomplete job of programming the center display ergonomically, and heard a whole bunch about that, they took the thing out COMPLETELY. STUPID STUPID STUPID!! What they really needed was a half-way decent program architect/human machine interface designer, instead of apparently leaving that up to the coder!!! Now they put all that money into that monstrosity! What a Waste!! That is your $1K of the $2K price increase right there!

I would rather have the Lexus exhaust heat recovery system, and left the car with the Gen 2 Prius controls!!!

Well, let us know when you become a transportation designer so you can design the next Prius to be the way you want.
