    Has anybody seen the MFD screen of the lower trim of the Prius Prime, or has obtained information on it?

    I ask this since it has been said, the 11,6" screen is "available", which I gather means it is an option, or standard on the higher trims (there will be 3, I understood).

    Here in Europe, The Prime is called Prius Plug-in, and an 8" screen is announced. The 4th gen Prius has a 7" one, which make me curious....

    Thanks, I knew all that. Are you suggesting, the screen visible in this Japanese version of the non-plug-in 4th gen Prius ist the 8" screen we'll get in Europe? I do not note the "floating design, created using a sculpted and near-invisible rear mounting".

    I'd rather expect something more like in the Prime, but not as tall.

    What do you think?
