Paradox's Pearl Prius

Thanks! I hear you, I would have accepted either LED's with the sunroof/solar panel and left out the LKA/IPA etc. Or I would have also accepted the advanced tech with sunroof/solar but taken 15" rims... Not to rehash, but really, leaving the solar out of an advanced tech package was poor marketing, no matter how one wants to look at it. If we were able to engineer putting a man on the moon 40 years ago, this car could have been engineered somehow to pass regulations within the US with the advanced tech package and the solar roof. Oh well, the car still will be sweet.

I'm just a bit more upset at how great the car would have looked in Blizzard Pearl with the roof all blacked out like on some new Maxima's and Mercedes... It's a great look!

 

Ahh, that sucks, I was betting on seeing you driving around the city as well the first few weeks we got ours! lol

I'm still betting pricing will be out mid April, but the lotto thing... As the motto goes here in NYC for lotto "Hey, ya' never know" Hope you can make it happen somehow.

 

No, I dont think it is the exact way I want it because your tech pack doesnt have LED's right? The LED's are a must for the tech pack, thats a given... Any 'new tech' should be part of that package, to leave one thing out is senseless...


Basically our Prius V with advanced tech should have included the solar/sunroof and it would have been configured the proper way IMO.

 

Haha, well I don't want to be greedy so not 'everything' or I'd say "Hey , I want the HUD, HDD Navi and turn signal mirrors as well!"

But yeah, I was just shocked and still am that they couldn't design it to somehow pass US regs (or whatever the reason is besides the simple weight issue, there's more of a reason than just simple weight effecting mpg) while tossing in the roof options...

Nonetheless, I think we'll all enjoy our cars no matter how they decided to equip them for our respective countries. I just don't want to hear a half model year into it, or even next year, that they decided to do what SO many of us expressed concerns about months ago.

 

We just see it differently. I don't mmind them listening to our suggestions to make improvements, but not on something like this. Don't make the people who were willing to buy early and take the leap not get something as new as a sunroof and solar option with an advanced tech package but later make it available. If it is such a big engineering problem but it can be solved in a year... Cmon'.

This is all what ifs thought, it may never come to see light but if it does for 2011...
