    I was getting some things done on the V today and they just rolled this Prius Sport on the lot. The rims are amazing! Really a good looking car.....

    What else did they put on the "Sport" (compared to the regular Prius)?

    Is that just the PPP without the lowering springs and sway bar? I know there are two levels to the PPP packages.

    That's what it looks like to me.

    17's alone make a huge difference in handling but there is nothing sporty about it until you add the lowering springs and rear sway bar to remove the body roll.

    Given the huge wheel well gaps (particularly in front) my guess is they haven't yet removed the spring spacers (used to raise the car for transportation purposed, and supposed to be removed during PDI).

    Yeah. I was thinking that after I made my post. I have one on order so I'm looking forward to seeing more pictures. Mine didnt make my dealers mid month allocation so still waiting. Hope it makes there allocation in the next 2 weeks to get a guess on when it may get here. Probably still several months out. :(

    I think that's actually a reflection, but I'm not positive.
