    It also offers a pivoting front seat for ease of entry/exit---doesn't say (can't read it anyway!) whether seat is adjustable in other ways, but shows a picture of the seat facing partially outward.

    The pictures also show a much shorter antenae (sp?). We've all been asking for that!

    You just have to surf the Japanese website regardless of the language barrier. I hope the US site has as much information. Wow!

    Thanks, Synchmaster.

    The translation is quite delightful - post of the year in my book.

    It's wrth remembering that some of the changes may only apply to cars made for the Japanese market.

    The most interesting:

    "In addition, besides the fact that maneuverability * travelling stability and riding comfort were raised with rigid improvement and the optimization et cetera of suspension tuning with the reinforcement of the body section, it has improved silent characteristic furthermore with the new adoption of the high sound insulation characteristic glass and the optimization et cetera of the damping material * sucking/absorbing sound insulator."

    Hopefully this refers to mor than the stiffened strut. I guess engineering changes of this type would be on all cars.

    Does anyone's car have a sucking sound? I guess mine will after it arrives & I write the check.

    You got it! My car will definately have a large sucking sound. Strangely, my car banking account, my Schwab account and my wife's spare checking account will suddenly be empty!

    All I want is a car :(

    It almost sounds like the software can recognise you when you sit in the car. It will make adjustments for you?

    I'll try to fix it up:

    TOYOTA, Prius minor change

    Toyota has made minor changes to the Prius and it will be on sale on November 1st through the Toyota store and the Toyopet store throughout the entire country.

    With the latest change, it has a more advanced style with the modifications on the grille, front headlight, and the rear combination lamp, and it has four new exterior colours. Furthermore, a "HYBRID " emblem is added to the front fender, and the size of the "HYBRID SYNERGY DRIVE " emblem the rear has been enlarged.
    As for the interior, the atmosphere has been made more comfortable with the addition of the seat, combination meter in the instrument panel and the door trim, outfitted with this leather (?) (editor's note: Perhaps it's talking about the new dash material?) as it improves the feel of the interior. 2 new colours are available for the interior

    * アルカンターラ : With the high-class artificial leather of suede pitch, as an epidermal material of the high-class furniture * interior and a material of the high-class brand item, Europe the brand of the reliance which has permeated to the center widely. As for trade mark the Toray Industries corporation possession (?)

    In addition to the "standard package ", there is a new "Touring Selection with leather package" that's available on the G and S model that'll make the Prius even more appealing.

    Besides the fact that maneuverability, stability and ride comfort were raised with improvement in rigidity with the optimization suspension tuning and the reinforcement of the body, it also has improved sound deadening qualities with the adoption of the acoustic glass and the optimization of damping material.

    With regards to equipment, the halogen headlight now have a manual levelling function, an automatic recognitive function of lines is added to the intelligent parking assist which supports the steering wheel operation at the time of column parking and reverse parking into a garage and it works for completeness i.e. operativity improves.

    [In addition to this, procrastination circumstance is estimated and after corresponding to the テレマティクスサービス G-BOOK ALPHA of the advancement which possesses the service and the like which guides the optimum route, the HDD navigation system which adopts high fine wide display and the like is set standard equipment or option.] Basically, G-BOOK has been updated to give the optimum route to your destination and the navigation system uses HDD instead of DVD disc.

    [Together, as the improvement which is similar to the based car the well cab (the manufacturer completion special equipment car) concerning is administered, new it set " type I " and " type II " to the private car for friend matic installation and line-up was complete.] Basically, the car is even more wheelchair and disable people friendly with its welcab option.

    For those of you who are interested in seeing dealer inventory of the Prius in your local area and asking prices, see the following link on the NADA website:

    http://www2.nada.org/find-inventory.cgi

    Enter your zip code and how far you are willing to travel, and it will list all dealer vehicles up to 200 miles away (including used if that's what you want). I found that some of the links to dealers in my local area were broken, but with a little hunting you can overcome that.

    The one drawback is that there is no indication on this site of what the option packages are - judging by the prices I saw charged in Oregon/Washington, dealers are either heavily marking up these vehicles or else they only carry the 2005 package #6. (Of course, prices indicated are merely a starting point for negotiation - good luck!).

    I expect that this website will also show the new 2006 inventory when they finally start to roll out.

    Thanks, great! I wondered how to do that.

    Now if we could just get the dealer allocations, or what's on the dock in Japan! :lol:

    Hi Everyone, First I want to thank you for being so tireless in your pursuit of informaiton about this truly myterius and sought after car. I guess I'm just another obsessed potential buyer waiting with baited breath for the REAL information on when the 2006s will start arriving, what they will cost, and what the packages will be (including color changes tha can be seen by my human eye).

    I hope the following request is o.k. to post here. If not, I assume it'll get moved.

    So, I live in Seattle and am on two waitlists for a 2006. One is Toyota of Seattle which is downtown, the other is a dealership in Burien. I've given the dealers a range of options I want (First choice is the Red -- I think -- in package #3). Both are large dealers. One says it's not really an order, the other says it is. Both act CLUELESS about all that we are dying to know.

    My question: Anyone have any experiences to share regarding Seattle/Western Washington dealers? Anyone know anything about packages and allocations here? Advice on how to ensure I get my 2006 sooner rather than later (after 01/01/06, of course)? I just got on the Burien list this week and have been on the other for about 3 weeks.

    Thanks, Deborah

    My question:

    I tried the search, and it shows 16 Priuses "available" (beware!) within 75 mi. of me. But they're all at only four dealers, one of which supposedly has six.

    I'd think there'd be more dealers with at least one or two.

    The cheapest of them is shown at $22,801. Several under $25K.

    Does anyone know if the 2006 colors are available for viewing on any other vehicles now?

    Thanks.

    Yeah, it's like it's not getting everything. Like when I did a search for Prii within a 100 mile radius of my location, I noticed that Carson Toyota's inventory didn't show up. According to their website, they have an inventory of 17 Prii right now:

    My local dealer has 2 that don't show up on the site for which John provided a link: a White with BC package and a Silver (on a fenced storage lot, can't read sticker)
    that they say was ordered but rejected by a cranky customer (yeah, right!) MSRP, and they say its a bargain, because the 2006's won't be eligible for the $2000 tax advantage. (Really?)

    It seems to me that they are buying unsold stock (or are being forced to accept it) in anticipation of 2006 stock very soon, making 2005's harder to peddle.
