    Maybe keep the date out so you can just keep adding press release material as they are distributed for various years or models.

    We can all just make sure the date is in the posts to which we attach materials. This way, we'll know the dates they are released.

    I just went to the Toyo website and found info hard to get to, screens that didn't open, and long lists of features so blended together that it's a headache. NOT impressive marketing. Neither is the obnoxious NYTimes homepage, where the MBenz ad is inyourface.

    Toyo V (yes, I'd like to see that capitalized, so it isn't like versus) is a great product, but more attention is needed in it's onthescreen presentation.

    The emblem on the side of my car, clearly, has a capital "V".

    Is it a capital V, or is it a little v in a larger font size, like Prius v? :)

    And today I note the phrase "while producing low smog-forming emissions". Digest that. The wordsmiths clearly don't know how to covey positively what they want to say.
    The website is still too fast to absorb the written text that flashes by. I won't rant on, because no one seems to be looking/reading at toyota inc.

    The seat cushion height is adjustable. I like to pump it up higher for a better view down the road. Does your friend need head room or height?

    Ease of entry ... (handicap) so I would suspect nearly maximum height would be best case scenario for entry - as she can't get down real low - so the higher the better

    I drive a PriusV I purchased some jumper cable that goes from cigarette lighter to cigarette lighter just in case I ever needed to jump my car off. Does anyone know if these really work, or did I just waste money?

    Won't work on a Prius because the lighter is turned off when you might need it. If possible take it back and consider buying a portable starter battery like an Antigravity Lithium Jump Start Battery Kit or a cheaper and less reliable lead acid version. The Lithium versions are smaller and liess weight and are likely to hold their charge much longer so it's there when you need it. Finally have the manual information on how to do it via the engine bay's fuse box available and understand a wrong connection could burn out expensive electronics.
