Difference b/n Package #8 and #9?

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Greenfoot @ Jun 6 2006, 01:14 PM) [snapback]266726[/snapback]</div>

Package $9 was the top-of-the-line for 2004. Package $6 was the top-of-the-line for 2005. For 2006, the top-of-the-line is package #8. You're not missing anything. (In fact, I believe the 2006 package #8 includes more than the 2004 package #9 and the 2005 package #6, but don't quote me on this.)

When you register for PriusChat and put in your car info, the default is #9. Many people seem to not notice this. Thus, their vehicle information is incorrect (and confusing to newbies).

Edited to reflect correction from IsrAmeriPrius. Thanks!

No. Number 9 was the top package in the 2004 model year. For 2005 the option combinations were reduced to 6, thus #6 was the top of the line in the 2005 model year.

 

Package 9 is the flying version

Well, I knew it was for one of those years. Thanks for the correction.

I edited the original post.

The various options for 2004 and 2005 were the same. The packages changed to remove the rear wiper, which became standard in 2005 and reduce the combinations. In fact the 2004 package 9 is the same as the 2005 package 6.

In 2006 some options were added, such as the rear camera, which resulted in a different set of packages.
