    Assuming money was not an option and you still wanted a prius. What would your dream ride look like? I'll start:
    1. Badass wheels and tires ( 18 inch low profile whatevers)
    2. Air ride suspension
    3. Kickass sound system (I have no idea)
    4. Window tint, smoked out tails included
    5. Custom interior (some sort of exotic dead animal skin seats & electronic gizmos)
    6. Custom paint ( something dark, but not black, grayish )
    7. Aquatune kit (to keep my mpg's high) AquaTune.com - AquaTune Water Injection Systems
    8. Spoiler (For asthetics only)

    If you already own your dream machine, post some pics and tell us all about it.

    If I could have my dream ride, it would be a Prius v Four with 3 door SKS and fog lights and DRCC.
    Ideally it would have more sound insulation, and be lemon yellow.
    If it had a Black and White mode for the Maps they would be much clearer, and I need to adjust the time to arrival by about 10%, it always guesses too long.

    I would consider the Liftback's lower final drive ratio, making the car slower, but I would have to try it out.

    Do the jdm versions come with a different rear suspension? If we have a solid beam in the rear hows that Aimgain prius cambered in the back? Or did they install those camber spacers like the xbs do.

    But having a solid rear axle shouldn't cause camber......look at Rodney's Prius.......from what I've seen, he doesn't get that camber when it's laid out.

    I think it's either spacers to create the camber or it has IRS (independent rear suspension)

    That's what I'm saying. With the Xb crowd they sell wedge spacers to camber the back. Well not exactly spacers they go between the hub and suspension. But certain Toyota came with diff suspension in japan then US like the previa. US comes solid beam, JDM came IRS.
