    For those who didn't have the opportunity or had one but just forgot to look out the rear window, here's a snapshot taken from CanadianDriver.

    Note the taller lower window

    mmhmm! Speaking of which, I'm surprised that a backup camera is offered on all but the base model in Canada!

    Maybe Canadians do a lot of backing up?

    In The Netherlands, the auto-dimming mirror is only included in the two most expensive models. Which, in my opinion, is pretty lousy. I think that's something that should be standard in all but the base models. A regular rear-view mirror feels really cheap and out of place in a car like the Prius.

    We (UK) don't get the auto-dimming mirror at all, not even on the £21k T-Spirit. Nor do we get heated door mirrors, something that is a point of contention of the Prius-UK mailing list. That's the one thing we do know about the UK 2010 spec - all models supposedly will have heated door mirrors, because such a fuss was made.

    Personally I could do without heated mirrors.

    The rear-view mirror is the normal prismatic type.

    Tom, can you provide the cut-out you did in Photoshop? So we can invent our own rear-view backgrounds?

    I can't upload the actual working file, as PC restricts the type of files we can use, but I can upload a flat file with the mask area in a solid color.
