    OK, one more, number 41, not as exciting as my first one.

    Sorry this isn't very exciting... it's almost like watching paint dry ;-)

    This looks like piece 3. Donna Allen on FB might have it. I don't do FB.

    Tony, you missed pieces 3 and 41 posted above.

    Also, you have pieces 2, 13, 26, 27 and 48 that I don't have. Where did you get those?

    I've been collecting pieces from here, CleanMPG, PriusProjects, Facebook friends, What Drives Us, and anywhere else I can find them.

    I have all of the pieces posted in this thread. It's just that I disagree that #41 is actually #41. I tend to believe that it's really #51 since it's the bottom left corner. But it's in there.

    The bottom left corner is 41. There are only 50 pieces so the bottom right corner is number 50.

    It would be so much easier if I knew how to count.

    Thanks, HybridTwins.

    Great work again Tony, we are really getting somewhere.
    I can't figure it out where the "cupboards" at the back of the second row seats are for. I haven't seen anything like this ever before. Maybe it is in very creative way the third row, there is enough space for a third row, since the space is a lot bigger than my Verso and i do have a third row. At the right side of the car lower end there is a round connection point that could well be for the third row. Another possibility is that you can remove the third row, when you don't need the extra seats to create a lot of luggage space.
    Speculations, speculations..... :)

    It's just a hard plastic backing. Several NA Toyota models have that instead of the full cloth backing like we have in the Prius.

    This is actually one thing that I appreciate in the Prius - a fully lined cargo area. Other Toyota models here have a plastic cargo area (Matrix and RAV4 come to mind) which make them prone to scratching when you're loading cargo and also carpet tends to muffle the road noise a bit better and makes for a more upscale look.

    So I'm guessing the main purpose of this photo is to show the larger cargo area and the dual-panel moonroof??

    Anyone noticed anything else??


    The mirror appears to be a standard day/night mirror, not the auto-dimming mirror which leads me to think that this is a photo of a base model (that and the cloth interior). I wonder if the moonroofs are standard on the base model or an option (like a III w/ Solar kind of a deal). A little harder to tell on US models ;). A little easier if it was a Canadian model.

    OK, thanks. In Europe it wouldn't sell, because we are used to a full back clothing.

    I'm not sure why Toyota would release a vehicle such as this. If the only advantage is a somewhat taller cargo area, I can't see many people buying it over a regular Prius. I love my Prius but there are many times where we end up taking two cars because the Prius will only hold four people with two car seats in the back. Having a third row of seats is the only thing about this car that interests me. If it doesn't have it, at least as an option, then I really don't care about it at all as it doesn't solve any problems for me. My Prius has tremendous cargo volume already thanks to the lift-back design.
