    Does anyone have a list of the cosmetic differences between the PiP and the standard Prius? All I've noticed is the metal-colored door handles, but I assume there are more things that that, and the emblem, of course.

    Bright strips on the front and rear and the plastic on the headlamps is tinted blue. Oh, and the rims.
