Lack of Trip Time Display, A Design Flaw?

I couldn't find any indication of traveled time on the display. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I am a little disappointed because the "trip computer" on my 9-year old Passat shows the time between you start the car and the time you stop the engine, as well as all the mpg and distance information. This is not a high tech thing.

Of course we can always calculate the trip time by (1) substracting the start time from the stop time; or (2) dividing the traveled miles by MPH. But then, what the display is for?

I hope the Toyota team will take a note and just add one number on the display. Thanks.

Thanks for the information. It seems odd that Prius omitted a very critical factor: time.

Yep, although I only have a 2nd gen Prius, I too miss the count up time display/elapsed engine on time on my former 02 Maxima and on my 04 350Z.

I posted some other nice features, non-high end I've seen on other cars that I wish my 2nd gen had at http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-ii-...es-other-cars-you-wish-2nd-gen-prius-had.html.
