    [font=Arial:df7facb705] [/font:df7facb705]Has anyone in the UK or the rest of Europe spceified the Alcantara seating option? Although it's listed as an (expensive) option on the Toyota GB website, it's not in the brochure, my dealer's never seen one, and Toyota GB can't supply a picture. I don't much like the standard light grey cloth (called, for some reason, "Millbeck") in the UK, so I'd welcome feedback.

    regards

    Martin

    Here's a link to something showing Alcantara in Japan, but I'm not sure whether it's the same as what comes to Europe.

    I've seen reference to the European Alcantara option being either dark grey or dark grey/green.

    Actually, I've just found a photo - you can see it at http://www.toyota-europe.com/showroom/priu...ccessories.html. I assume that's what you get for your £1350.

    Personally, I'm quite happy with the Millbeck. I wouldn't be happy with the light beige fabric the coloured cars get lumbered with in the US.

    Thanks for the prompt response. The upholstery on the Toyota-Europe site looks good, but £1350 is a lot for seats that aren't powered or heated.
