    Does that look like a vent in the headliner, probably rear seat , for backseat passengers?

    And here I was consoling myself with the thought that this was just for the US Prius people. So much for that idea. Oh well, it's not like I've never been slighted before. I'll get over it.

    You're asking a guy who doesn't recognize the ol' geezer in the reflection in the mirror.

    Yeah! This is just like Thomas & Friends only I guess we should call it Toyota & Friends. Fun for all 2yr olds and remember diesels are dirty. That foam packing is green right?

    I've got Piece 30. If I had to guess, I'd say it went right above piece 40 (hybridtwins). Looking like a rear compartment, or maybe an inverter power outlet?

    Guess they didn't know I had a "few" 10 Year badges from my PHV drive? ;)

    Looking at the full image in post #1, it now appears to be an interior shot from the back of the vehicle with the hatch up. I only see two rows of headrests, with a large cargo area, and then the word "cargo" printed on the bottom of the image. Unless it is folded down, I do not see a third row of seats. However, it is still very possible that there could be a third row of seats that are just folded down. We'll know soon hopefully. Maybe te Prius Team will slowly post the remainder of the images.

    Looks like a third row with fold-out seats to me. The seats are embedded in the back of the second row, such that the passengers on seats 6 and 7 are facing backwards. (the square above the word 'cargo' is the seat with a handle at the bottom of that square)f; Might be wishful thinking though.

    Can you post the original png file? JPGs remove the transparency. It's easier to work with the png.

    I'm shocked no one has mentioned anything about the 2 sunroof cutouts which can now be seen in the pic now. That's kind of nice for rear seat passengers if you ask me.

    I dig the 10yr badge that Wayne had installed on his Prius, at the Malibu 10yr event ... I was tempted to peal it off his car.

    all,

    It's still too early to tell yet with not enough of the puzzle pieces assembled in Danny's post #1, so the following is just a wild guess on my part : maybe it's the long awaited (for this country) hybrid mini-van & the first variant body style to carry the Prius "separate LINE" nameplate (other than the Prius as we've known it in the USA for the last 10 years). That might explain a 3rd row of seats & another sunroof (or it could be a newly-produced Hollywood-style limo like somebody "photo-shopped" some time ago).
