    If you'll recall, the 3rd Gen Prius had some octane confusion. 87 Octane (specified as AKI) in the US is the same as 91 Research Octane (RON).

    As for regen on the rear wheels, that's likely a typo. Regen only happens through the front drive axles. This car is not all-wheel-drive.

    Can anyone verify the magnetic gray is the same gray as on the "highlander"?

    Magnetic Grey was available on the 06 Prius (from I think something like May 07' builds) until the end of the 09's. Then for 2010 the Prius went Winter Grey Metallic.

    And yes, the current Highlander is available in Magnetic Grey Metallic.

    awesome! I was hoping for more choices of color like Mini but I guess it's a Japanese company....

    My dealer told me the V will not be available until Nov., not Oct. I hope not!!!
