I'm kind of liking that Harvest Beige/Black and White Combo... What do you think?

 

yup.

 

It's not available on the 4T... So I'd have to get 4 With ATP and get some new wheels!

 

that's a bit frustrating. but i've learned to live with second best.

 

Thank you!

I had pretty much come to the same conclusions and the 2016 skeptics had turned me off . . . of them. Heck, even the Ioniq trolls inventing a mythical super-car from press releases and teaser photos. Don't they have any self-awareness? Apparently not.

So it is good to read this review because it is based on reality and not the made-up fantasies of those who type first instead of . . .

I agree...I might go for a 4T with Moonstone, but If I like The Harvest Beige enough,I'll probably find some OEM 17" Take Offs on eBay. (I'd also have a moon-roof) Then,all I would be missing is LED Fog Lights, which I think will be pretty easy to find/install.

 

Nothing of importance because some of us drive our Prius with the gear shifter too.

He would not be surprised to ride with me.

OMG! Is that the interior on a red Prius?

 

The Moonstone is interesting and modern, the black looks nice also, but I'd never be able to keep it as clean as I'd like, and the Beige interior is sort of classic and looks great on white or red cars. I agree, it looks much better in SofTex than the fabric. (In videos and pictures)

 

i like it, but would be afraid to carry 2 x 4's.

 

I've got beige seatbelts in my 2010, and they do tend to get dirty in that spot where you grab them...

 

Light coloured interiors do not age well. Our previous 06 Civic Hybrid, still in the family, has a beige interior, I.., don't like to talk about it.

 

Im not sure I'd expect much out of any interior after 10 years...I'm more curious how the SofTex Ages compared to Leather. Either way, I think I'd still prefer a non leather (SofTex) material. The Tan Leather in my 10 Prius looks fine, except where I've scraped it, with buttons and such. My 03 Echo with tan interior gets dirty, but also cleans up like new.

 

Same type of thing Ford would do.

Excellent real-world review.

Wrap up and review
Slated for release sometime mid-January, the latest member of the Prius family is a fantastic middle finger to the ways of old, with cutting-edge technology, safety, and efficiency numbers illuminating the path forward with LED intensity. Tack on the fact that it actually handles worth a damn and has a bit more power down bottom, and you’ve got a Prius that won’t put you to sleep behind the wheel.

So how many prototypes did Toyota show off that day ?
I remember one review were the reviewer claimed the cargo floor could be adjusted to create a flat cargo area and now in this review it seems the testet Prius had some kind of paddle shifters !

 

which post has the review with the paddle shifters? i missed that.

 

Well it wasn't directly said in the review but there seems to be a way to shift gears in power mode .

"Putting the car in “PWR Mode” and opting to manually select gears adds a bit more torque and control to the equation when you get bored."

 

which review, were you hallucinating?
