    Hi Everyone,
    I live in Singapore. I've just booked a Japanese domestic model Prius type G with side/curtain airbags & photo-catalytic side mirrors. I thought of booking a 10th Anniversary Edition but decided the discharge headlights, HDD navigation, integrated bluetooth & intelligent parking camera wasn't worth the additional US$2,100+. Cars here get taxed about 2 times the import value. Anyone out there driving JDM Prius? I'm getting mine only in Jun as Toyota Japan has a queue.

    Hello, welcome and congrats!

    The 10th Ann. Edition is based on the S model isn't it? so you'll be losing some features too. Plus the HDD nav will be in Japanese won't it? Will a singapore disc work?

    I think a few S'poreans have JDM imports (esp. the older ones) and since Borneo Motors have some waiting list or high price (can't remember what that person mentioned)

    It's the blue-tinted mirrors (usually found on the German cars) that reduces glare

    Good to hear from you all. I got my G model from a parallel importer Ricardo as the local distributor refuses to bring in more than the basic S model. Look forward to learning from you all. :)
