    Oh sure he stealth edited bigger numbers into his specs. I will just edit my observation.

    I sure hope accurate interior specifications will answer those who could not see how the v was larger than the G3.

    You're not kidding, this is the kind of unit I have been waiting for Toyota to do. Now let's hope the sound system/speakers etc that go along with it sound just as good!

    best part is the basic unit - 6.1" Toyota Touch as called in Europe, is really nice multimedia system with usb and iphone support (proper one) as well as reverse camera and it will come on ALL models.

    This also happened in Europe with affordable Toyota Verso-S which also got the Toyota Touch and similar consumption screen too.

    It means more and more Toyota cars of wide range of prices will get this multimedia system instead of boring buttons.


    I wonder how many Prius owners will upgrade for the tech stuff :)

    and went from 30 minutes total down to 15 minutes, but with finer granularity at 1-min intervals instead.

    Given all of these new details (backup camera, better mileage, etc), I'd be surprised if they put the MSRP below $30k. The Escape Hybrid is $30k, and I'd take this over the Escape.
