    I'm helping a friend find a Prius, and the applique is one of the options on a Prius in stock at a nearby dealer. Thanx.

    Be aware that Southeastern and Gulf States regions do all kinds of little things to raise the price of their cars. :ph34r: The "applique" you are talking about, as far as I know, is NOT a factory option but is most likely something the dealer installs at an outragious price. I have seen wood appliques available on the Internet for the Prius if that is his taste.

    Also, watch out for the "special paint protection" and "fabric protectorant". The fabric is a microfiber and is pretty much carefree with only a small amount of attention.

    BTW, they will likely twist your arm to commit to an Extended Warranty at the time of sale. SE & GS regions push their own Extended Warranty package from a 3rd party. It is not the Toyota EW which you can buy any time before you hit 3yr/36,000mi.
