    Does anyone know whether the 2006 Prius in America will have the side marker lights and "hybrid" badge on the sides of the car just in front of the side mirrors? You can see them on the picture posted here: http://priuschat.com/2006_toyota_prius.html

    But that's the Japanese model. Also, I haven't seen anything about side marker lights or badging in the 2006 press releases, which can be found here: http://pressroom.toyota.com/search?st=kw&criteria=MY06+Prius

    Anyone know?

    Not sure but I like the look with them. I hope they come on the US models!

    Side indicator lights: No. Not required by any State or Federal DOT and as such is not put on U.S. market cars. If you take close notice, the only vehicles in the U.S. with side markers are those that come that way from the manufacturer, such as VW and Audi or folks that like to do aftermarket "upgrades".

    Badging will remain the same for 2006 model year.

    Areometer should have it soon. He's already posted the pic and description on his site.
