    You swapped badges? What does that have to do with engineering?

    Wow, tough crowd. If only I could put the heading in italics.. maybe you would read into it the sarcasm that was associated with what I just did. I'm sorry for being Australian and trying to provide a bit of humour (humor in American spelling) this somewhat very serious straight-up-and-down place. I didn't realise modifying Prius was that serious. I'd better shut up and never share anything around here.

    Sorry, didn't mean to come off harsh. :eek:

    But maybe you should have used more words in the first post to get your humour across? ;)

    The Prius Alpha in Japan is a 7 version of the car sold in the US as a 5 seater called Prius v. In Europe, both 5 and 7 seaters are sold as Prius+

    Everyone got a better name than North America.

    I agree. "v" is too easily confused with "V" or "5".

    Gathered vee'erz, alpha'erz, +'erz...and Jimbo too - I think N.A. came out "v"elly "v"ell with the roll of the v(vee) dice by Toyota Town's marketing geniuses. My v(vee) wagon is and has been a "v"eritable "v"onder "v"agon for me as well as a delivering "Caddy In A Kimono" limousine-esque comfort and performance.

    I believe they're referring to the Prius alpha badge.

    The Prius Alpha's that I've seen in Japan are 5 seaters just like our Prius v. I have yet to see the 7 seater to be honest.
