No HID or VSC starting in August?

Any other additions to BJ such as better handling, seats, sound insulation? Might not be too bad to loose HID/VSC to get the rest. HID is more 'luxury' than is necessary for a 'Toyota', and possibly VSC also. It's more 'sporty' without too.

VSC btw is to keep the car from spinning out, fishtailing, loopy loops, etc in almost any condition through computer controlled individual application of brakes to the wheels. It's an extension of ABS and a pretty good safety measure, esp in rain, or snow? I would like to try it out sometime, if it ever snowed in SoCal. Purposely drove hard into a turn one wet day and VSC light came up and stopped me from sliding the car sideways.. damn.

Now, for those of us that would like to drift the Prius through turns it's impossible with VSC.

 

Your post, sir, is retarded. I gave you the information to read yourself. I am not here to spoon feed you the information. It didn't take NuShrike too long to put the blocks together since he read the description for the two package #6 descriptions. I could care less of you think I am full of hot air since you cannot seem to comprehend the information in front of your eyes without someone holding your hand through it.

Maybe I should have clarified I deduced this myself based on the information on the descriptions since it would make no sense for Toyota to offer two package #6 of the same number with different content. Why wouldn't they just call it package #7?

Anyway, next time read a little on your own before you go attacking others and get a prescription for a laxative because clearly you are constipated.

 

Danny,

That is not a personal attack to me? In fact, I find it insulting. You said youself that he attacked me since I didn't include the links or proof.

"Otherwise it is easy to be attacked for what people perceive as your opinion."

I didn't know there was a requirement to post links when I already gave references to the sites.

Anyway, I will just refrain from posting any inormation and just read or ask questions.

 

Retard is not as peronal as it can't get lol. But anyway per your request, I have editted to a simple attack rather a personal one :lol::guns::cussing:

 

A simple cut and paste from the link from of the URL and this would be all done!

 

Putting two threads together, maybe this makes sense. It was reported that the 2006 will have different grille and headlight styling. Perhaps because of this sunsetting of the current design, there is a limited number of production HID headlamp assemblies left, with the rest targeted as repair spares.

This would explain why they are not available near the end of this model year, but are likely to be available in the restyled 2006 model year, with its new front end.

 

Dang! . . . apparently I missed a real zinger of a personal attack upon my userID. :roll: Shoot!!!!

I say this because after you proclaimed that you “editted to a simple attack rather a personal one†- the above quoted doozy is still there. :lol:


Sorry if you took my post as a personal attack. I was attacking the contents . . . or lack there of.

It’s not just you. Many times people will make some grandiose statement and not back it up with proof.

For instance, your post states:

By the looks of this KBB page, it looks like to me that:
1) It IS NOT true . . . Nothing on the page says HID and VCS are going away. BJ is “August Onlyâ€, not “August or later.â€
2) Vehicles built in August or later WILL have HID and VSC because there are two package #6 shown, BC and BJ of which BC has HID and VSC, and package #4 AM also has HID and VSC.
3) The price WAS adjusted for the BJ change.

AM Package #4 1,720.00 2,075.00
Vehicle Skid Control, HID Headlamps.

BC Package #6 4,176.00 5,065.00
Includes Package #4

BJ Package #6 3,375.00 4,090.00
(August Production Only)

But, because you did not post a link to the material you were refering, I still have no idea what you are talking about. There still may be some other reference on KBB, but I (we) shouldn’t have to exhaust every possibility to confirm your unsubstantiated statements.

Don’t stop posting LuckyP, just provide confirmation links when possible.

P.S. LuckyP, What is that yellow square under the flag in your profile? And why don’t I have one??
[No Danny

 

VSC without HID is entirely possible as Canadian "B" models have VSC and halogen headlights and DRL's. It's just you can't have HID without VSC as it's tied into the VSC computer for the input to the HID computer level control.
