    Came across this video taken at the Press Meet in California.
    If you experience any issues with an echo in the audio, try replaying it..that worked for me.

    Enjoy!

    This video rocks! I watched it at work without audio and it still rocks. I didn't think we'd see anything like this till March 25th.

    I think there is an error in what the Toyota flack says about the 3 driving modes. He says that they are on top of normal. There is no "normal." I don't know what the default is, but I don't recall hearing that there was a normal mode.

    I haven't seen a 3rd gen Prius on my own, boy I thought it actually had 4 driving modes. So when you turn it on, it is in normal mode: no ECO, no PWR and no EV. Then you can push any of the 3 buttons to activate it's mode, and push it again to "deactivate" it and return to normal mode.
    I read somewhere that the EPA test was done in this "normal mode", so ECO mode will have even better milleage...
    I could be completely wrong, so please correct me if I am.

    Normal mode is the default mode. Normal defines the mode in which neither of the 3 buttons are pressed.

    I would keep mine in PWR mode all the time !
    Gotta photoshop those buttons to look like:

    STL mode
    <3 mode
    OWN mode

    Nice to dream. I'm keeping my 2006 till it dies out. I want to see it make 2026 with only a few spark plugs changed and newer a Toyota PHEV LiPO4 EV-20 battery pack (this would be nice for circa 2014)
