    I've been struggling with whether to order the new PIP. While I'd love to be the first on my block to have one, it is very difficult to justify paying over $40,000 for it. Since I already have a paid for 5 with AT, I won't consider anything less than the advanced model, which means at least a $14,000 financial hit. One thing that might sway me is whether the power seat makes a significant improvement in seating comfort, and/or the reach issues to the steering wheel. Would anyone who has driven or sat in any 2012 prototypes of the Prius or PIP please comment on the power seats? Thanks much...

    why not test drive one and buy a seat if you like it - won't cost $14,000
