    It appears to be next to the driver's right knee, square-ish and blue carbon fiber knob. Why would you want to put it there? Is it really ergonomic?

    I read in another thread that the "white console" was just the metal... painted same color of the test mule (White) before the actual plastic was placed over it. Made sense to me.

    Will the 2016 Prius be built in Japan or USA?

    Changing subjects: could the tail lamps array be like high end BMW and Mercedes-Benz. It would be nice if it went from one side to the other clear across. Full width brake lamps, that would be a safety item, in my opinion

    Yes but the silly white cover is on it. The lamps are showing through but not exactly a good photo.Those brake lamps have a neon tube like quality. They could be LED's with a red tubular look. Pure speculation on my part. Did anyone notice the GMS start on and off procedure on the dash? Plus the additional master power switch? It appears to have a much larger MFD screen to boot. The HVAC control appear to not have dual zone controls.

    The entire dash is covered with a felt like cover with peek-a-boo holes for switch access. I like the fact that the speedo is still in the middle, no looking through the steering wheel.

    Okay, I'm not going to pretend I know for sure, but I'm guessing the front 70% rolls down, perhaps all the way, while the back section is fixed. If you look closely, something similar is going on up front. Interesting . . .

    No Edsel Tele Touch Automatic Transmission. Besides, where would you hide the air bag?

    Yeah I know. But at least they don't go in for idiotic plunging tail lights, pencil moustache grills, silly silly headlights. Groan.

    Can you image what the replacement cost will be for the headlights? They extend half-way up the fender and half way across the hood.

    The overall profile continues to say - Prius. But the details, are disappointing.

    Is that more youthful? I'm showing my age.
