    Which of the options that were unavailable for the Prius package you bought would you pay for if they were available as add-ons (assuming the price was reasonable).

    Oh, I'd pay for lumbar support, but wouldn't pay for leather just to get it...

    I would too, but I wanted to limit the choices to existing options.

    If the options are unavailable, I'm not going to pay anything for them. You must work for the phone company. After all, they charge for an unlisted number.

    (2) Fog lamps, LED headlamps, self-leveling headlights (perhaps as a package)

    (3) Backup Camera (rear view mirror)

    (4) Other - availability of accessories (mud flaps, body side moldings)

    Hi:

    If I could have ordered available options or just a wish list for the model I leased it would have been:

    • Fog Lights
    • Lumbar in both Drivers and Passenger Front Seats
    • Heated Seats (preferably without Leather)
    • 17" Alloy Rims and Tires
    • Navigation System (only the Technology Package has Nav in Canada) or the option to have where the Navigation System goes just a 'Touch Screen' Radio and Backup Monitor.
    These things would have been nice to be able to order. As it was my decision to get the 2010 Toyota Prius was sort of after the Dealers made their initial orders and the pricing became available around the middle of June (Canada). I don't think they could have done a 'special order' and had it here by September 1, 2009 when the other vehicle lease finished.

    Oh well, maybe next time :) .....

    On my 2009 I would probably get the leather seats and fog lights.

    1. Back-up Camera without the Navigation

    2. Sunroof without the Solar Panel ventilation system

    Without the NAV and Solar Vent components, I'd save about $2000.

    2. Sun/Solar Roof without Nav.

    1. Fog lights
    2. LED headlamps as a package with the self-leveling feature
    3. Ventilated seats (why can't this be an option with the heated seats?)
    4. 17" wheels and tires, but only if they were part of a sports suspension package (is that even possible for the Prius?)

    I would also like bumper sensors to tell me how close I am to things....

    Lane Keep Assit. Cause technology is cool, and it's not available in Canada.

    17" Wheels
    LED Headlights
    Fog Lamps

    I never even thought of that one, but I'm with you on bumper sensors!
    Excellent idea. :)

    Auto-on headlights!

    Come on... if they are available in Canada, why not in the US?

    -----

    Oh, and also the ability to talk on the phone AND listen to the radio at the same time. If you can listen to the Navigation system and the radio at the same time, why not the phone and the radio at the same time. That way you don't miss traffic reports and stuff while you are on the phone.
