    Actually, this version seems to have corrections to the earlier version posted by Prius team; such as correctly referring to turning radius, rather than turning circle, and no longer having the tire size error.

    MPG is also corrected. No need for the deletion.

    A 34.2ft turning circle w/ 15" tires, and a 36ft turning circle w/ 17" tires. One more reason not to go big ;)

    One of the specs appears to be a bit misleading though:

    Front Disc Rotor Diameter: 10.0"
    Rear Disc Rotor Diameter: 10.2"

    While the rear discs would appear larger, what is the overall swept area between the two? From one of the photos of the rear suspension on the engine/suspension display, it would appear we have a lever operated drum brake within the rear discs for e-brake or parking brake. After seeing some of the design flaws surrounding a cam-actuated parking mechanism on rear discs (they would corrode, then stick in the engaged and burn up the rear pads/rotors on some cars).
