'09 Prius Brochure

amped · 07-02-2008, 09:59 PM

Snagged at the dealership today, cars to follow anytime. A brief skim of the 22 page brochure showed no apparent changes.

Why do the brochure pictures always show tinted windows, which are not included in any of the packages? Do they apply tinting for their model cars, or do they tint them in Photoshop?

Guess the dark tinted windows makes the exterior stand out more, otherwise you'd be seeing the background scenery through the windows.

Its a glamor shot, kinda like a SUV pictured on a snow capped mountain (truth in advertising) ?

Evidently, no change to the brochure either, since that is the same shot on the front of the PRIUS 08 brochure.
I'd like to see the 09 color Combinations, if this is the 09 brochure.

I was going to post the detailed spec pages, but my new Epson V500 broke after the above scan.

No color changes in the '09 brochure, but why wouldn't it be the '09 brochure?

Darn! I was hoping for some new exciting reading, guess Toyota decided to change some numbers and carry on with the essentially same brochure.

Hi, amped,

Well, possibly because it looks exactly like the front cover of the 2008 brochure (except for the year printed on the left edge). That's why you were asked for the other 22 pages [to see if anything inside the cover (specs & color chart, for instance) has chg'd]. Seems I remember somebody post'g something about a new color for 2009 accord'g to a color CODE chart from somewhere within Toyota's own website.

How did you manage to get your hands on an '09 brochure months before the '09 Priuses start to arrive [Sept 15th (probably on the west coast) & by the end of October on the east coast (probably latest in New England)]? Dealerships around here don't usually have the new brochures available until December (AFTER the new cars start to arrive).

Ken,

I get my advance info through the actual Toyota fleet system, always months ahead of the retail system (including so-called fleet/Internet sales at dealerships) for inventory planning and early order incentives.

I'm usually one of the first in the US to get new vehicles due to early ordering, my POE being the closest to Japan and selling dealer minutes away from the POE so no rail transport needed.

The inside back cover shows the same nine colors carrying over from '08 MY.
