    It was loading very slowly for me, so I didn't see the whole thing...but I really like the wheels on the Blizzard Pearl that the lady is standing next to!

    Those will be the standard 17" wheels in Europe I suppose. In the Netherlands only the very cheapest model has 15" wheels.

    Interesting... very different from the Canadian advert.

    If you want to see it, go to www.prius.ca
    Click "english", then "assemble", and the advert will play.

    Usually I hate adverts. But I must admit that one appeals to me...

    I believe members from other countries may have a different opinion though.

    Yeah! Pretty cool advert. I noted the signal mirrors it had; very nice.

    The car in the advert is a model with sunroof, so it should have the 15" wheels. They upgraded it with aftermarket 17" wheels that look a bit like the original 17" Toyota wheels, but they are different (differtent model, different color)...

    The original 17" wheels for Europe are the same as you get in the US.
