    So some have pondered what a floating centre stack would look like and whether Toyota should've gone with that instead of connecting it to the centre console box. Well, this is the Lexus rendition. Look at the radio, climate control and EV/ECO/PWR mode button layout, I'd take out Prius design over this design below.

    Yeah, I haven't liked this Lexus interior (HS250h) since the day I saw it in the pressroom... I too would take the 3G prius dash anyday.

    I like the fly out center console of G3 much better.

    I enjoy the layout in the HS250h. I like the look of the little remote control. I think I will test drive one for fun in the summer when they come out.

    I am infatuated with the HS250h. I love the "mouse" interface and the updated gadgets associated with the car.
    As much as I enjoy my relatively new 2008 Touring Prius, I may have to upgrade this summer into the Lexus.

    I'm a bit disappointed they used the Camry hybrid as a model, rather than the Prius. I suspect milage will be below 40, and no hatch. We love the amenities in the Lexus, though. Will be interesting to see the actual car.

    From what I've read, I'd expect it to be closer to 35 than to 40.
