    Aloha All,

    Just took dilivery of my 2011 Prius V from SERVCO Auto Leeward in Waipahu, HI. After a long holiday weekend and a deal gone bad on a 2010 I am now a bonfide Prius owner. I started the paperwork at the dealer last week Thursday but had to wait untill today to get my loan finalized at my CU and pick her up. The car is a V in blizzard white pearl with bisque interior it has the ATP minus the LKA. I am so happy put 40 miles on her going home.

    Ecstatic new owner,

    Ed
    Waianae, HI

    Re: Took home my new 2011 Prius V today

    So you got the technology package...Radar Cruise Control...Dynamic Force Braking...without the LKA? I didn't know that was possible, I thought it was a package deal.

    Oh well, congratulations...

    Re: Took home my new 2011 Prius V today

    SERVCO Pacific is there own import and distribution company, not part of Toyota USA. They bring in there cars how they want and with different options packages. It also does not have the safety connect SOS system available on the mainland. Up until a couple of years ago you could not get any Toyota or Lexus with navigation here.

    Thanks for the Congratulations,

    Ed

    So far it is very cool! I am babying right now during the break in period trying to get a feel for driving it. I like the ride and not having to shift last two autos were both manual xmsn. 1995 GMC Sonoma and 2005 Saab 9-2x Aero a.k.a. Subaru Impreza WRX wagon

    Re: Took home my new 2011 Prius V today

    Congrats and welcome to PriusChat.

    What color is the front and rear Toyota emblems?

    Be sure to read your owner's manual cover to cover. After 9 months of owning my Prius, I'm still discovering cool features.

    Happy Motoring,

    Tom

    Re: Took home my new 2011 Prius V today

    Sounds like a UK/Euro-spec T Spirit with the "safety pack" - it has adaptive cruise but no LKA.

    Re: Took home my new 2011 Prius V today

    Hmmm...the MY09 emblems were red and the MY10 are blue. I thought for sure Toyota would have changed their emblem color for MY11.

    Thanks for the update,

    Tom

    Radar Cruise Control sounds like a really slick new feature. I wonder if it set's off other people's radar detectors? :D

    Thanks goodness the Gen III's look good/better cosmetically. I can't believe how many new cars on the road today look completely ridiculous or hideous.

    RCC does not as it broadcasts on a different frequency.

    It does a good job of maintaining speed & distance and will bring the car almost to a stop.

    Re: Took home my new 2011 Prius V today

    Tinted my windows yesterday at VIP Glass Tinting, 901 Waimanu St. Honolulu, HI 96813, (808) 723-0808. I tinted all the way around except lower rear window with 40% Llumar ceramic tint, also tinted windshield with Llumar Air Blue 80. It took them a few hours to do, now I just have to wait a couple of days and see how it looks when cured. They charged $300.00 plus tax out the door at $314.14.

    On my way to get the windows tinted I filled up with fuel for the first time. 473.1 miles, constant indication 57.7MPG, fueled 8.741 gallons of 87 octane at $3.499 per gallon, I figured 54.12MPG.

    Now just gotta order my Husky Liners and I think I will be getting mud flaps from the PC store.

    Re: Took home my new 2011 Prius Five today

    Not sure how my thread title got switched from V to Five? I did attemt to edit it before to remove the word today but it still remains.
    I know there is a whole separate discussion on various threads throughout the forum regarding v,V,\/, and Five models, but my Prius is a 2011 Prius V 4CYL ECVT according to the window sticker.

    Re: Took home my new 2011 Prius Five today

    I switched it. For 2011, Toyota has reverted to words (two, three, four, five) to avoid confusion with the new Prius v. I'm surprised your window sticker said V instead of Five.
