wait for 2007 prius or order 2006 prius

I saw the video without sound so I'm missing any explanations, but anyway in favor of a 2006

1) $3100 tax credit

2) I don't believe the auto-park feature will be available in the US.

 

If it was me, I wouldn't wait. I bought a 2005 in Sept last year and have never thought twice about it. While the 2007 will have a few extras the 2006 has, it's not a major model change.

 

Go for the '06 if you want the tax credit (and can use it). Wait for the '08 if you want a new platform. The '07 is a minor model change (as the '06 was from the '05 and '04).

try for the '07, partially due to the improved resolution and features of the nav system. i've got an '04 with the high-end option and i'd love to strangle the morons who designed the user interface for the '04's nav.
(ask me how i really feel... )

 

Go for an '06, get the credit (especially since the AMT tax is on hold). From the video, I saw two new features. The traffic condition reporting and the auto-park feature. The high resolution screen is already standard on '06 models with the reverse camera and navigation system. Otherwise wait for the '08.

MHO,

But what of the pretty rendered 3D POI signs?

Also, as mentioned above, the US doesn't get the Intelligent Parking Assist.
