Hi all, Just became the proud owner of a brand new (6 miles!) 2010 Prius IV w/solar/nav in Winter Gray Metallic. Since I'm unabashedly nerdy, I simply can't stop pushing the display buttons non-stop to watch the little pseudo 3D holo light show on the dash. Now would probably be a good time to start searching threads for button replacement. Oy. -Eric
I won't lie, the 0% APR 0% down promo for a year-end model certainly helped. As far as other hybrid choices, I didn't think any others come close to the Prius. Plus, it'll be a long time before we get sexy-but-not-zillion-dollar-sporty-hybrids. I'm an mpg first, tech second, green third type person. I also believe that buying a Toyota after major drama is a good thing, kinda like flying after a plane crash. All eyes on deck.
Hi Cyberpunk and :welcome: to PriusChat! lol... well touching it lightly has the same effect.. so you don't wear out the button
lol.. actually I used this cheat sheet that my friend sent to me. It has all the Japanese katakana characters and sounds =). That's how I translated toyota.jp to give you guys the Prius Features & Specs for Japan (although I realise most of you will probably just see rectangles cause you don't have an asian language support installed in Windows or Mac)
Portland, OR area actually does pretty well. Saw a presentation a while back that showed only the farthest NW area of OR (Astoria) as significantly hindered for solar gain. - D
Even Seattle gets better insolation than Germany, which is far ahead of us in actually applying solar power.
