I see no evidence of this. I had to log in to use the Vehicle Specifications page, but once I did, I entered the VIN for a 2009 Prius that happened to be offered for sale and saw its specifications, including options.
There’s always this. 2G Prius (2004-2009) Standard and Optional Equipment (Some Countries) | PriusChat
Thank you Tideland Prius I have that page bookmarked. I have two logins and use the 1st to store my 7 prii. The 2nd i used for option pkg lookup so I could see what was on the car before driving somewhere. I am former IT and tried clearing the cache. No joy.
Where it says port or factory installed equipment it used to give specific option package info e.g. HZ #5 or whatever. Are other people still seeing options.?
