    what spwolf said. Tony and I have discussed it above too. It's most likely because you can move the box left and right with the large joystick and then rotate to change the settings. Note the lack of fan speed and MODE buttons.

    you got it first tideland!

    i like verso mpv... i think it is currently the best mpv in europe... it is only one that managed to keep length down and still offer 7 seats.

    i am buying family car right now, and i need 7 seats for short rides (for little cousins), and there is nothing small with 7 seats... with Ford and Citroen, you have to buy their big versions (they have small and big version of same MPV), and not only it is priced higher then, car is a lot bigger which is deal breaker.

    only thing about verso is stupid center instruments - i usually do not mind them, however they can not be fully seen through steering wheel and that bugged me a lot... This Prius mpv already has better instruments...

    The Prius Alpha's cluster is more like the Scion xB or the original Prius (or even the Yaris). It really looks dead centre vs. slightly towards the driver's side on the regular Prius.

    Anyone noticed that the spyshot version doesn't have DRCC/LKA? Also, it looks like it might have automatic headlights (dome on the right side of dash... unless you guys have it also in the regular Prius cause the old Prius was missing one of the domes in the US version)

    Verso has cool looking analogue instruments that are positioned in center but really turned towards the driver, so you look through steering wheel... and even though they used Avensis steering wheel, some of the periphal info cant be seen through it.

    it just bugged me... otherwise it has cool look to it...

    Thanks for assembly of the puzzle for all of us to see. This site, http://www.toyotapriusprojects.com/#/002 is way behind in putting the pieces together.

    Here's what I know of IHeartRadio: it's an internet app.
    Is this an indication that the PriusMPV will have an internet connection? Is it possible that it could serve as a hotspot? How cool would that be! Entertainment for the whole family would mean that the kids could have their iPod Touch (or iPads) in the back seat surfing the web.

    ...or their Dell or HP Mini's or surf the web from their cell phone (if it's WiFi enabled). That would indeed be SWEEEEET!

    Is there an App that will let them know if "are we there yet" has been met? It could be tied into the GPS, traffic monitoring and monitored by a rousing XXXX numbers of beer on the wall, where XXXX is determined by the aforementioned monitoring devices.

    Toyota integrating Internet radio app | The Car Tech blog - CNET Reviews

    "Toyota announced that it is working with Clear Channel to integrate the latter's mobile app, iheart radio, into some of its vehicles next year. The [ame="http://download.cnet.com/iheart-radio/3000-2133_4-10922027.html"]iheart radio app[/ame] is currently available for iPhone, Blackberry, Android, and Windows Phone 7. It lets you listen to over 750 Clear Channel radio stations, the majority from specific cities with a few genre-oriented stations not tied to a particular market. Music streams over the phone's data connection. "

    I'm willing to bet it'll lock when moving, that is until someone here mods the display.

    I am just trying iheart radio on my iPhone4. It is pretty cool. I'll see how I like it compared to Pandora and Slacker.

    Local station choice is just awesome. I get Z100 in near CD quality much better than FM.
