    Is there anything to identify the Prius Touring edition? Besides looking at the tire size, is there something writen on the outside or inside of the car that says touring edition?

    The wheels are noticably different. I see a few on the road, and that is what I notice. I don't think there is an emblem or anything.

    Nope. Just the larger wheels and the extended "Type B" rear spoiler on US models.

    The wheels have silver plastic covers with 6 thinner looking spokes than the STD Prius wheels.

    Judging by the spoiler and the wheels, I'd say no. Were you charged for a Touring edition? What does the invoice say?

    no I was charged for a regular one but the dealer gave me a replacement from another lot quickly and had to reprint the contract at the end, so I just was hoping they made a mistake. But now my car will be in the shop until the middle of next month at the earliest, I was hoping to get a new touring edition and sell this one, but with all the damage done to it, who would want to buy it for almost sticker?

    Man, that really sucks what happened to you. The whole point of buying a new car is to have a new, problem free car. Hopefully everything will work out though. What really sucks is that since the car was new, it'd have to be really damaged for it to be written off as salvaged. Since the insurance guys figure the difference between the cost to repair the car vs the cost to replace it.

    :ph34r: sorry for posting offtopic here.

    The only "touring" that car will do is to the body shop. ;)
    Sorry.

    Yeah, seven. Counting was never my strong point. Actually, in Prius-crazy LA, I've only seen one Touring model on the road. Where are they? Are they out touring somewhere else?
