    Wow. I love this car. This is my first Toyota and I must say this is a great car. I chose the touring model with driftwood pearl.

    I had the windows tinted at the dealer and also had a guy from Arizona Clear Bra come to my house and put material on the front end to protect from road stones. I'm also looking into getting new wheels but I am not sure.

    :peace:

    Congratulations on the new car. The stock wheels are pretty good, and light, which is important for fuel economy. Think about that a bit before you jump into new wheels and tires.

    Congratulations. I picked up my '08 Touring/#6 Driftwood Pearl on Thursday. Second '08 T/6 in 10 months! I'd buy another one if I could afford it! NOW the gas guzzler in the family is an '06 Civic 2dr Coupe @ ~37MPG.
    And Spousal Unit LOVES her new Prius!

    i think you'll find that the Touring's are clearly superior... :) for the wheels if nothing else!

    did you take off the plastic wheel covers yet
    to show off the rims
    the center caps cost about $15-$20 each from your local toyota dealer

    Yeah, having a Prius is awesome to begin with... but adding the Touring package just sends it over the top. :D
