    After 4 months of waiting I picked up my Silver Prius at the dealer.
    It's what's called over here a bussiness edition, it has all the airbags, VSC, JBL audio, height adjustable seats, navigation with TMC and bluetooth.

    Here's a picture of the European 16 inch wheel. Without the wheelcover it's ugly.

    I changed the stock Michelin tires for Vredestein Quatrac 2 all season tires 205/55 16 H

    This is the Toyota bluetooth car kit, it charges the phone and has an antenna connection.

    Antenna for the phone.

    I had the dealer put in an extra power socket.

    My wife got her Mini Champ miniature Prius she asked for when we ordered the car.

    16 inch is standard over here, I believe it's standard for all Europe.
    With the wheel covers they look nice, but without the covers they are the ugliest light metal wheels I've ever seen.
    The wheel the use for the US looks much better.

    Probably some Japanese style aftermarket rims lol. Then they put the nice plastic cover to make a 7 spoke wheel hehe.

    That's a pretty aggressive tread pattern for an AS tyre!

    congrats on your purchase!

    Thanks!
    I'm really enjoying the car.
    Step by step I'm learning more. Now I'm concentrating on the voice commands.

    It's funny though, talking to your car.
