    Actually, he's ready to take orders, so the ATP pricing information is correct (hopefully) :). Regardless, since the Three+ATP and 3T are almost the same price, the Three+ATP seems to make more sense, since the tradeoff would be Moonroof+HUD for Softex front seats+17" wheels. Granted, vanity knows no price ;), but any thoughts from a utilitarian POV?

    Sounds like hes ready to take money... Not orders. (If he doesn't know you can't add ATP to a 3T)

    As stated several times, the packaging on different models is strange... I would love a 4T with moonroof... but not gonna happen.
    Some people prefer SofTex, some prefer fabric.
    Some people would have no use for a moonroof. Some people can't live without one.
    Some people want 17" Wheels
    Some people want ATP...
    and on and on....

    Just get what you want...

    When you add rotational inertia to straight line inertia, it's probably equivalent to 10lb or so of non rotating mass as far as vehicle acceleration is concerned.

    So the "maxed out" 4 Touring model won't have a moon roof option? I hope that the table above is incorrect but if not, why Toyota why not make that option available? What a total letdown, you sacrifice many desired options by dropping down to the 4 just to have a moonroof option? Whoever decided on these builds completely missed the mark!

    The table's been reviewed and scrutinized by tons of people; I'm pretty sure everything is correct.

    From what others have said, one of the major concerns is about weight. The touring models have some other weighty options including the larger tires. Not offering the moonroof saves weight. It's not just Toyota and it's not just the Prius. Trade-offs are made with just about every model. We heard the same thing six years ago.

    it is more critical when you're trying to reach certain mpg goals though.

    Same thing happened with the Gen 3 Prius. The 17" alloys and moonroof can't go together. So either you go with the 17" alloys (like US did) and make that the top model or you go with the 15" alloys and moonroof (like Canada and Australia did) as the top of the line model.

    This isn't completely out of line for Toyota (although it does stand out in the Prius lineup). The Camry SE and Corolla S models never got the same equipment as the Camry XLE/ Corolla LE or XLE trim level. Toyota fixed that with the Camry XSE for 2014 and the Corolla S for 2014 almost has the same equipment as the LE. As you can see, it's just a recent change.

    On the Prius, I suspect it's more of a mpg vs. weight tradeoff. The chassis is design to accommodate a vehicle weight and it's possible that the 17" + moonroof option exceed that. (Notice how Toyota had to remove the spare tire to add SofTex and power driver's seat?)

    Nice job. I'll never get another Prius that has no spare tire. I've owned a Gen II, a Gen III and a Plug-in (with no spare). So, I purchased a spare wheel and keep it the back seat, behind the passenger seat. Really stupid!

    Not sure if this has been asked, but which model has manual adjustment seat and which ones have power adjustment seat?

    it's in the table of post #1. interior: i assume 8 way adjustable drivers seat is power, even though it doesn't say it, and 6 way is manual.

    Me too

    the dealers have much to say about the package contents. It's all about profits.

    Very useful table.

    FWIW. All others are covered but I don't see a door trim type shown for the Four

    My 2012 Prius had the moonroof and came with 15" wheels, which I quickly changed to 17". I guess that I will have to just go the same route as last time. Hopefully, there will be LED driving light kits in the not too distant future.

    I don't really care about the weight because I won't be using this car to load passengers around. My primary use case is driving to and from the airport each week.

    Options etc and how they exactly function for safety. EX, pedestrian, backup, anti collision. The Prius has been deficient for years in back up proximity warning. A constant beeping does not help at all and the camera view is not sufficient. I did my own install of a radar warning system but it is not as good as a factory one. Children are worth something eh!

    When I was young I could back up and see out the back of my head at super sonic speeds. Funny how I can not do that any more.

    Im indifferent about the spare. I wouldn't have any issue throwing a patch in the tire vs putting the spare on. Furthermore, a total blowout is unlikely unless your tires are shot, damaged or improperly inflated. That being said, i do like being like being prepared for the worst.
