    Has anyone found any pics of a RHD 3rd Gen Prius?

    Thanks

    Not the actual RHD photo, but this concept drawing last posted in Aug'08 shows how close it was to the real thing.
    I gathered JDM's RHD should be available come 18 May.

    Back then, the G3 cockpit was kinda hard to accept for some.

    Thanks for the pics.

    At first I thought it was in a new colour but I think its actually the Winter Gray.

    One item I wanted to check was if we would get proper RHD wind screen wipers in the UK and it looks as if we will.

    Yes it is, that is the headwear of the Melbourne lodge of the flesh beaters.
    The colour is new and not available in the USA so I was told. Not sure about the rest of the world.

    I thought it looked new. It has too much blue in it to be the winter gray. I wonder if we'll get this in the UK?

    Arigato gosaimasta!

    A couple of observations:


    • Foglights available with halogen headlights
    • Light Blue colour (very similar to the Aqua Ice of the G1)
    • Light purple/ice blue colour (kinda cool actually)
    • The rear headrests are the L-Shaped type, different from ours
    • There's a weird slot on the driver's side underneath the mirror controls. If that's the wallet-sized smart key slot, I'm gonna be sooooooooooooo jealous!!!

    Yeah, there are some pretty nice colors in some of those Japanese articles.

    Also looks like only the US is getting a canterlever action on the 2nd passenger side windscreen wiper arm. The Euro, Japan and Australian cars all have a normal 2nd wiper arm.

    Hang on, where's the Power button gone?

    If the interior is a mirror image of the LHD version, it could be to the left of the steering wheel, I suppose.

    The slot is for ETC（Electronic Toll Collection System） card slot, like FASTRACK/E-Z pass in the US.

    Yes, that's where it is.

    Notice in this shot, the standard issued smoke/flare red stick is visible in the lower left pax foot wall.
