    Very cool info indeed Ken - thanks!

    I thought I'd mention that I often search for your posts immediately when I hit PriusChat - yours and Dougs - being by far the most informative posters!

    I'm curious to see more photos - I'm betting mine will be in one of those lots by weekend :)

    Cheers!
    Dave

    Eeek... Quality Control.. QUALITY CONTROL!? You don't think that means that some of these are going to be crash tested, do you? ;)

    Looks like Toyota is gearing up for its 18 May launch.

    Public now has access to 2010 exhibit in a few major cities around the country.

    FYI,
    A Japanese local newspaper reported that Toyota received 129k orders in April, 20% up from last April, and the half of them (65k units) are 2010 Prius pre-orders.

    The 65k Prius pre-order number is more than all of Nissan's receiving orders.

    Please note that the Japanese 2010 Prius official launch date is still May 18th.

    The Insight sold 10,481 in April and became the first hybrid to achieve best-selling vehicle in Japan.

    65,000 Prius preorder in one month is just amazing.

    Each hybrid sales figures are amazing when viewed from market trend perspective. The fact that Insight II has become the 1st hybrid to outsell other gasoline models in Japan in the same month, is itself, a historic achievement.

    A Japanese daily predict that hybrid adoption momentum is projected to accelerate to main-stream in Japan itself plus hybrid will be the key to auto maker's survival.

    The Prius picture is next to the graph. Is the projection the entire hybrid market or just Prius.

    I think that might be % of market share for all hybrids.

    The graph shows the entire Japanese domestic hybrid vehicle market volume in 10k unit.
    For example, 600k hybrid vehicles in 2015.

    According to JP site, it claims an average 10% reduction in cabin noise-level vs the 2G at certain speed.

    I wonder if that's 10% in terms of decibel.

    Ken, it appears that the steering wheel buttons are illuminated as well (in addition to Touch Tracer) and that inclues the silver buttons. Can you confirm that?

    Edit: Also what's the purple colour? I got Ice.. something mica metallic.
