What "options" define a Prius as a "Touring"?

    Just curious really...

    I have a 2008 Prius with Leather, Navigation, the JBL stereo w/6 CD changer, and the SKS key package. I thought it was a "Touring" based on these options but this was recently disputed by another Prius owner. I'm not trying to win any arguments, but now am curious how you tell if you have an actual Prius Touring or just a well optioned Prius?

    Thanks for input...

    A Touring for a Gen 2 includes a longer rear spoiler and 16" alloy wheels with wheel covers (195/55R16 IIRC) as the main differences. It's supposedly slightly stiffer in suspension settings and all Touring models will come with Bi-Xenon headlights and halogen foglights. (But note that non-Touring models also have the factory HID option)

    Here's a list of all the years if you're curious. Touring models started in 2007.
