2007 PRIUS ADDS TOURING EDITION ~~~ PRICES, PACKAGES AND COLOR EXCEPTIONS !!!

Vegemann · 07-31-2006, 09:25 PM

Just put down $500 on my 2007 Prius with Touring Package 6. Ordered Seaside Pearl with Dark Grey interior. They made no promises on the interior color due to Toyota’s allocation process. Dealership promised by October sometime…we’ll see. Also, you cannot get the new touring edition in Black or white!

Here is a copy of the printed info they gave me. Hopefully this will help those thinking about a 2007. Placing orders this late in the year “almost” guarantees you a 2007 anyway as Toyota is “re-tooling” it’s production plants in August for the 2007’s.

Also, the Driver and front passenger front seat-mounted side airbags and front and rear side curtain airbags are now standard on the 2007. They are no longer an option !!!

Printed Info:

“2007 Prius will receive driver and passenger front seat side mounted airbags, plus front and rear curtain shield airbags as standard equipment for 2007. For 07, the carryover model #1224 Prius MSRP increases $450 to $22,175.

In addition to the increased safety features, a new, innovative. Prius Touring Edition is introduced. This new model gives Prius a more spirited driving experience. In addition to Prius' standard equipment, the Touring model receives: Tuned suspension, 16" Alloy wheels, Rear Spoiler (+1" deeper vs. standard spoiler), High intensity discharge (HID) headlamps and integrated fog lights.

The addition curtain shield airbags to Prius' standard equipment and introduction of the Touring Edition have altered the Option package content and pricing.”

Here are the packages with MSRP pricing: (note that these seem to be August prices…don’t know if this means an increase along the way)

My dealer here in Colorado notes that “Prices include freight only.” For me it was $580 which was in addition to the base price. Other dealers may vary I imagine.

You forgot to add the Navigation system to packages 5 & 6.

I just couldn't figure out why package 5 cost $1900 more than package 4 with the same equipment.

You're right, I added it in now. Thanx for catching that.

So the question is...what are they taking out of the 2006 model to keep the price lower while adding in all those new things? I want one!!!

The way it was explained to me was that since they will make the side airbags standard in 2007 the consumer is now saving the $650 side air bag "option" on the new models. Side note: I saved almost $700 in shopping the dealers in my area. Some of them are really "out of control." !!!!

That sounds like the 2006 Package #4, only a few hundred dollars cheaper...

The Touring Edition is $895 more and you get "Tuned suspension, 16" Alloy wheels, Rear Spoiler (+1" deeper vs. standard spoiler), High intensity discharge (HID) headlamps and integrated fog lights.".

HID and Fog lights are already $625 (difference between #3 and #4) so the rest costs $270.

I think that the overall cost of producing the synergy drive hybrid system has dropped, and that is reflected in the new MSRP. I think the 08's will be even cheaper.

That's if you don't factor in the tax credit, of course...

Anyone considering the Touring package might consider the cost and availability of replacement 195/55r16 tires compared with the standard 185/65r15 size. The touring's 195/55r16 size is currently rare in the USA and most of the options are expensive, run flats, and not suitable for any snow or ice.

The Mini is the only other car I know of that uses the 195/55r16 size as OEM. You might use a different size replacement tire on the touring's 16" wheels. The 205/50r16, 205/55r16, and 215/50r16 sizes are much more common, offering more choices and lower prices. Is anyone using any of these sizes with aftermarket rims on their Prius now?
