    Bossdowner strikes again. I get the sense that he's taken Blueman footage and cobbled together his own 'commercial'...I don't think too many opportunities for 3:30 commercials exist!

    But pretty cool stuff.

    You can see the night vision cam in the video. We guessed the location right.

    That was intense. It's Prius porn! I can't wait for more.

    Now I'll have to go out and get an eye-dropper.

    What's the point of spraying water on the headlamps?

    To clear the ice/snow?

    Just one commute here in the land of salted roads, you'll find out. The headlight crust over with a layer of salt causing the brightness to dim. It's really a pain.

    Hmm... Salty Prius?

    Way cool, but I didn't see a plug in port on the Starboard side. I loved the innuendo to plug-in at the first part of the tape. :cool:

    The same reasons you spray your window. The headlights will get caked in crud in no time during the winter. Beats having to wipe it yourself with your nice gloves or paper towel (which you'd have to find a trash can for)

    holy crap, there's a camera above the mirror. Pre-Collision System??

    Also, did anyone notice that it appears to be easier to see out the back? The vertical tinted glass is noticeably taller.

    hmm, yeah ok so the WELCOME TO PRIUS is the small MFD on the dash.

    Ah, that device above the rear view mirror must be the main deflector, ensuring that the shuttle can reach warp speed.

    That was fantastic. How in God's name did he get this done without Toyota's approval. Answer: He must have had it.

    Nicely done all around just a little choppy at times.

    I'm shaking and my breathing is stuttering, I haven't felt like this since ...
    ... never mind.

    I can see my first ever new car on the horizon.

    AWESOME !!!!

    I want one! I want one now! Sell the house, finance the kids ... I'm gettin one of these!

    (it's funny how from the photos only, we were thinking that the left and right headlights were different ... apparently looking from a different angle can make a big difference)

    I love the interior. It looks great.

    Maybe BossDowner can get us "special status" on the waiting list to buy a new one. :D

    THANK YOU BOSSDOWNER !!!! YOU ARE AWESOME !!!!

    .
    I'm thinking that this is the uncut film for a future official Toyota commercial. The Blue Man Crew don't work for free, and that was not amateur camera and lighting work either. I'm thinking that a shorter version of what we just watched will one day show up on our television sets. Why put in on Youtube, now? Why not? It's free advertising.
