    Today's theme is "Ask and Ye Shall Receive". And you've been asking for a very long time, so here you go. Yes, it's a sneak peek only a Prius owner could love, but we wanted you to rest assured... we have been listening.

    I LOVE you guys!!! Thanks so much!

    Yes!! Looks like we're getting that adjustable front seat.

    Now if we can convince the team to release more pics more often. I don't mean to seem overly ungrateful, but the dilemma between buying a 2009 or waiting for a 2010 is killing me. For now, the pendulum has swung back.

    Now we can start the discussion of purchase 2009 seats only and retrofit into 2008 and older!

    i don't own a prius yet, so i don't know if its a new feature or not, but the door sill is cool too.

    So now Evan needs to post a demand to see a full list of detailed specifications and option packages. Hey, it worked this week!
  6. hschuck
    Can we get a picture of the up, down, and tilt switch also?
  7. zenMachine
    I think those will be available in the Gen 4.

    Patience, friend. Patience...

    That still only looks like electronic front-back adjustment. We need seat pan tilt (pitch, if you will) and up-down

    If it only adjusts the seat forward and back, then you really haven't been listening...
  10. M. Oiseau
    Looks like the front of an up/down pump handle behind the switch. :)

    If you are implying a lumbar support adjustment, I would have to agree. That's what it looks like to me.

    Hope it will make it to the US.
  13. TonyPSchaefer
    At least there's little/no doubt what this is a picture of. :)

    You have to love a company that listens to it's customers and gives them what they want !

    I find that hard to believe that anybody would do a partial power seat...
  17. RatedN
    I think it's the lumbar support switch, which would be a very welcome feature.

    As for companies that do partial power seats, Ford did that up until recently. On many of the models including Mercurys and Lincolns, the seats were 6-way power adjustable, but you had to recline manually.
  18. hschuck
    After further review, the photo shows the current bar that allows manual movement of the seat for and aft. Therefore, no power seats.

    I once owned a 2001 Saturn L-series that had 8-way front seats. Here we are 9-years later.. I hope Toyota has 'em on the 2010 Pri.
