    I thought Touring models had 7-spoke wheels, not the 6-spoke design of the standard models.

    Is that a fog light in the lower grill, or just a plastic plug?

    Others will have to judge the rear spoiler, and possibly the headlight, if the Touring
    s HID is distinguishable in this sort of photo.

    in short, no. i recently learned the hard way. look under the rear of the car near the tires. you will see two stripes.

    red/blue = standard
    red/pink = touring

    it that a dent in the lower front bumper or a distortion in the pic?

    [Check out Hertz car sales online. I purchased a 2010 with 38,000 miles for less money than this one is listed for. They have cars in almost all states. I noticed alot of Prius in California when I went to their website. You can test drive the cars for 3 days and if you don't want it after the 3 days you just pay $49.00 dollars a day rental fee, otherwise the rental fee is not charged and you purchase the vehicle. Check it out! I'm sure glad I did. :cheer2:

    How do we know? The feature list looks like a cut-and-paste from a list of what a Touring model is supposed to have, but the "7-spoke alloy wheels" obviously contradicts the pictures. So I wouldn't trust anything else on the list without personally verifying it.

    We have seen this many times. +1 on checking out the features for yourself.

    People here disagree on this, but I have owned both a non-touring and a touring model. The suspensions are markedly different and I would not want to go back.

    Short spoiler on the hatch. Looks like mine and it is not a touring model? Red and pink strips on rear suspension will tell the story! Hal
